Welcome to your monthly update for Harrogate

We visited Kings Road and Strawberry Dale Avenue this month. We noted that the bin store at 145 Kings Road does not seem to be locking properly and are looking at having this repaired.

We also noted that the front communal door at Strawberry Dale Avenue was damaged; this was raised as an emergency repair at the time of the visit.

If you need to report a repair to your home or a communal area, please call us on 0113 386 1000.

Free holiday activities for children and young people on benefits-related free school meals. Tap or click the image below for more information

Who is automatically eligible for a free FEAST place?

• Children and young people receiving benefits-related free school meals are automatically eligible for free places at FEAST activities.
• All children and young people from reception to year 11 (inclusive) who receive benefits-related free school meals are eligible for FEAST.
• Schools can also make a small number of additional children eligible by exception if they face significant financial and/or other disadvantage (see below).

Can anyone else be made eligible for free FEAST places?

• As defined by the Department for Education, FEAST is primarily for children and young people who receive benefits-related free school meals.
• However, schools can also make a small number of additional children and young people eligible by exception if they face significant financial and/or other disadvantage.
• There are limits on how many children/young people can be made eligible by exception, to ensure that the focus of the programme remains on the Department for Education’s key audience: those on benefits-related free school meals.
• If you believe your child should be made eligible for FEAST, please contact their school to request this. Individual schools have been given the responsibility to make additional children eligible by exception.
• Schools are not required to automatically issue vouchers to ‘eligible by exception’ children/young people who have received vouchers historically.

Transport

Transport requests for the summer holidays will open on Thursday 25^th June.

You can find our transport request form and more information about the transport we can offer here: Transport to a FEAST Activity - North Yorkshire Together

We want to hear from you - please take a moment to answer this month’s Flash Feedback question.

What opportunities would you like to see for children and young people in your neighbourhoods?

Thanks for reading and please keep an eye out for more updates here soon!

We have been working to deliver your first Neighbourhood Plan and it is now drawing to a close. We wanted to let you know what actions we have taken in response to your feedback and how we have shaped our services locally. One of the outcomes of the first plan is that it would be of benefit to combine it with other plan areas so that we can have more impact.

We are combining the Harrogate & Central area, Bilton & Skipton Road, Devonshires, Starbeck & Knaresborough Road, Pannal, & Scampston plan areas together this time, and this area will be known as Harrogate.

Please take a look at the feedback document by tapping or clicking here to see what we have done, and what we are planning to continue to work on.

We would also like your comments on what we can do next. A new survey is available for you to let us know your current priorities.

You can access this survey by clicking or tapping here. Please complete the survey before 12th June 2026.

We will use the information you provide us to develop your new Neighbourhood Plan - so please share your views!
