And Richard Flinton, North Yorkshire County Council Chief Executive, has praised the commitment that has "paved the way" for restrictions to be lifted. He said:
"Businesses can only reopen thanks to the sacrifices and commitment of the hundreds of thousands of people in North Yorkshire who continue to play their part to limit the spread of the virus. "Let’s not forget the huge efforts you have made to support local firms and to pave the way for the successful road map out of lockdown. Every face covering, every day at home, every time you have kept your distance – every time you put others first – that collective effort has and is making the difference that means the county can reopen safely."Read more local stories from Your Harrogate here.
