Think Harrogate: What is it?

Think Harrogate is an initiative started by Harrogate Borough Council in September last year to develop a new ‘Story’ for the Harrogate district that could be used by local authorities, private sector businesses and organisations to help promote the district as a great place to live, work and invest.

The Story was launched in the first week of March and a copy of the book is available for viewing or download here: www.thinkharrogate.co.uk

This work was always intended to be managed beyond the Story delivery by an external group of business leaders and organisations, with administrative support from Harrogate Borough Council.

This group has now been established and is being led by Mark Roberts (Chair) and Sharon Canavar (Vice-Chair) supported by 12 members – details of membership of the group, the Mission Statement and long-terms aims are available on www.thinkharrogate.co.uk
