A new multi-million pound public transport scheme has moved a step closer to construction.

The £14.3 million project in Harrogate has secured a contractor, with work set to begin in the New Year to avoid disrupting the festive season.

The scheme, part of the Transforming Cities Fund (TCF), aims to improve public realm areas, boost access to transport, and connect residents to economic and educational opportunities.

Cllr Malcolm Taylor, North Yorkshire Council’s executive member for highways and transport, said: "The scheme has been in the making for around five years, with several rounds of consultation and engagement to produce the final designs.

"We have maintained our commitment to delivering the scheme, which will be key in promoting sustainable travel and public transport options.

"The town centre will become more visibly appealing, ultimately driving economic prosperity through improved access to employment and future investment."

The TCF is a Government-funded programme supporting transport infrastructure across the Leeds City Region.

The Harrogate scheme includes the redevelopment of One Arch and Station Square, upgraded traffic signals, a new bus lane, a southbound cycle lane on Station Parade, pedestrian improvements, and cycle parking at Harrogate Railway Station.

The project is expected to be completed by autumn 2027.
