Police are investigating after graffiti appeared on fire doors outside Marks & Spencer in Harrogate.

Harrogate BID said the incident has been reported to North Yorkshire Police, with investigations ongoing.

The doors were repainted - within 48 hours of the graffiti being reported - using two coats of specialist paint said to provide up to eight years of protection.

A spokesperson for Harrogate BID said:

“We’ll continue to respond to issues like this as quickly as possible to help keep Harrogate clean, welcoming and looking its best.

“If you spot graffiti or other issues affecting the town centre, please report them to us so we can help get them addressed.”
