Harrogate named best place in Britain to work from home - here's why

Harrogate named best place in Britain to work from home - here's why

The North Yorkshire spa town - which is home to more than 75,000 residents - has ranked above all towns and cities across the nation, according to a list of benefits compiled by the comparison website Uswitch.

Harrogate ranked highly also due to its clean air, good access to the countryside and low crime rates.

Councillor Richard Cooper, leader of Harrogate Borough Council, said it was no surprise that the town was rated as a top performer.

He said: "Sometimes we don't realise what we have in Harrogate and it is surveys like this and comments from visitors on social media that remind us all the time just what a fantastic place our town is."

The nearness of the Stray, the brilliant independent shops on my doorstep and the welcoming town centre are big positives.

"We shouldn't rest on our laurels though. There is more we can do particularly around making our town centre even safer and more inviting for pedestrians and cyclists."
