Harrogate street rangers continue efforts to make town 'clean and safe'

The Harrogate BID Street Rangers Darren Jevons and Sam Ashby.

The Harrogate BID Street Ranger team have continued their top work ensuring the town remains "safe, clean and welcoming" for all.

Sam Ashby and Darren Jevons, who make up Harrogate BID's Street Ranger duo, are always on hand to deliver both reactive and planned works while providing a helpful, friendly ambassadorial presence around the town centre.

Whether they’re jet washing and deep cleaning key hot spot locations around town, or carrying out improvement and maintenance works to create a great first impression, no two days are the same for the Street Ranger pair as they work to ensure Harrogate remains a must-visit destination.

So far in 2025, Sam and Darren have offered a return on investment of over £60,000 to the town’s business community through more than 450 unique jobs.

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

“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 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.

“Our teams on the street were an integral part of the feedback we received during the consultation for our second term. So, we’re very proud that we continue to deliver these positive, impactful services on a daily basis for the good of our town.”

The BID provides the Street Ranger service as additionality on top of the statutory Local Authority provision.
