Harrogate BID's Street Ranger has been clearing leaves from Royal Parade following recent high winds.

Large amounts of leaves had collected on pavements and in gutters around the town centre area.

Street Ranger Sam Ashby has been sweeping them up to help keep Royal Parade tidy and accessible for residents, businesses and visitors.

Harrogate BID’s Street Rangers work across the town centre carrying out cleaning, maintenance and environmental improvements.

Their duties include litter picking, jet washing, removing graffiti, clearing weeds and maintaining street furniture, alongside responding to issues raised by businesses and visitors.

Bethany Allen, Operations and Projects Executive at Harrogate BID, said previously:

“Our Street Rangers are a key part of the business plan we deliver in Harrogate as they continue to make a positive impact on our place.

“Sam and Darren [Jevons] do a fantastic job making sure our town centre looks the best it can for both local people and visitors.

“We often receive fantastic feedback for the useful work our Street Rangers do for our town’s business community, with the duo carrying out hundreds of unique jobs already this year to maximise our town as a destination.
