Live: Harrogate district traffic and travel
Good morning, it's cold and icy this morning so take care on the roads. There are a few bus service cancellations, check the blog to see the full list.
Good morning, I'm back for the last time this week with all the road delays, traffic hotpots and public transport issues.
It's cold and icy this morning so take care on the road. Also, just as a head's up, I had to de-frost my car this morning so may be worth leaving a little extra time.
As always, if you spot anything, let me know on 01423 276197. Let’s help everyone have a smooth journey today.
