Harrogate Car Free Day
Tuesday 22nd September 2009
Last year we achieved over 2,400 cars less cars on Harrogate roads.
Help us make it more than 5,000 this year!
What’s happening?
We have organised several events for the day and various partners are also doing the same [Visit Partner Activities]. Our events include:
Now shall I walk
or shall I ride?
"Ride," Pleasure said:
"Walk," Joy replied.

Educational Car in Schools
Schools will be receiving a visit from North Yorkshire County Council’s Road Safety and Travelwise modified car, which contains a laptop computer, a television – and a number of moving dummies with thought-bubbles promoting the benefits of walking rather than using the car. The car is designed to make people think about how they travel.
