Two new venues are to open as part of an ongoing commitment to drive regeneration and investment in towns across North Yorkshire with the Council having secured a tenant for a vacant unit in the council-owned Royal Baths building in Harrogate and the opening of Northallerton’s multi-million pound Treadmills scheme due next year.
Cllr Mark Crane, whose responsibilities include economic development and regeneration, said: “The arrival of these new venues benefits everybody. They will provide local employment opportunities and hopefully attract more people to our town centres, who are likely to spend money in other shops and use local accommodation providers.
“It’s crucial that we continue identify opportunities to drive investment and increase footfall in our high streets.
“We want to have economically vibrant and thriving town centres where residents, visitors and businesses work together to drive growth – and our larger centres such as Harrogate and Northallerton play a key role in driving economic activity elsewhere across the county.”
