WELL done Micklegate traders.

A huge pat on the back is deserved by Shelagh, Julian and all the traders that pulled off the fantastic Micklegate Run Soapbox Challenge.

This is an event organised by local people for local people.

It was great to see so many local businesses and organisations getting involved by entering a cart.

Having supported the traders for the last year, I can testify to the huge amount of effort they went to, ensuring the day ran incredibly smoothly. Even the sun was shining.

I look forward to 2018 with eager anticipation.
