Harrogate businesses to get Station Gateway briefing tonight
Businesses are to be briefed on the £13.4 million Harrogate Station Gateway project tonight (November 9).
Representatives of North Yorkshire Council’s gateway project team will give a 15-minute update at Harrogate District Chamber of Commerce’s monthly meeting at the Crown Hotel.
The council has hailed the gateway, which is due to get underway in January, as the biggest transformation of Harrogate town centre for 30 years, but it has proved controversial.
You can read details of what it involves here.
The gateway was a late addition to the agenda, which also features Paul Mount, deputy agent for Yorkshire and the Humber at the Bank of England, who will talk about last month’s Budget.
Chamber chief executive Martin Mann wrote to members on Friday notifying them of the gateway addition.
He said:
The chamber greatly values its invaluable relationship with North Yorkshire Council, and we are grateful to the team for making time to join us. Members will then have the chance to put one or two questions to the team before we move on to our main business.
The event, which begins with networking and refreshments at 5.30pm, is open to chamber members and first-time visitors.
