A number of independent traders and retailers on Beulah Street have reported a decline in footfall in light of the cordons and road closures that were put in place due to the blaze on Friday that ravished Deli Blanca - a business that was only due to open on the street this week.

North Yorkshire County Council's advice on Friday was to "avoid the town centre" if possible, to allow the emergency services to work in the best conditions to safely bring the fire under control.
