Stray Defence

We have not inherited the Stray from our parents; We have borrowed it from our children

@OscarRomeo1268 @LL_North_Yorks @joropner1 Many congratulations, well deserved.

@emilyegg1 More appalling behaviour from the mindless moronic few who seek to destroy rather than enjoy. Beyond contempt.

Yet another imbecilic moron has broken a cherry tree on the stray overnight. Why? The tree was planted only days ago! I doubt it will be the last, who but an idiot would do such a thing! 😡

[Stray Defence @StrayDefence]

@HarrogateAnn @thestrayferret @northyorksc @CollKaz2 This was reported to the authorities at the time. The donor of the tree is devastated. What goes on in the mind of someone who does this sort of thing?

At the closing of the the longest day my thoughts are with my father. @DDay @6June #RememberingDDay

We are so fortunate in Harrogate, wonderful open space on our Stray plus the Valley gardens and Harlow Carr.

[Fields in Trust 💚 @FieldsInTrust]

Green spaces are vital parts of our communities; places we can come together, spend time with others and enjoy the benefits that parks provide to us all.

[Fields in Trust 💚 @FieldsInTrust]

Making a #NewYearsResolution? How about resolving to spend more time outdoors in your local green spaces in 2023! Just a short amount of time in your local park each day will help you feel happier and healthier.

[Stray Defence @StrayDefence]

The importance of green spaces on children's development. Another wonderful thing about our wonderful Stray

[Stray Defence @StrayDefence]

How good to see someone enjoying what is indeed our 'extraordinary Stray'.

A very evocative passage about our Stray ..........

I saw this photograph by Ashley Reaks on Facebook and it brought chapter two of 'The Damascene Moment' to life. Thank you for allowing me to use it, Ashley. @TheStray @WaterstonesHarr @VisitHarrogate

Deepest condolences to His Majesty the King and members of the Royal Family on the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
May she rest in peace.

@HedgehogCycling @photogog @davidismall Inane & contentious comment. You, HCA, and others are perfectly well aware that we have battled this illegal parking for years. NYCC steadfastly refuse to put double yellow lines along Oatlands.

A beautiful August dawn on the Stray

[Stray Defence @StrayDefence]

Great to see the sunshine bringing out those who love to play on the Stray. A fun game of volleyball being played there tonight!

Harrogate's Stray...where there will forever be a place for this gentle man: 'Asked where he was happiest, he said: “It may seem obvious but just sitting on the Stray under a tree.”' https://t.co/um47jXBGg9
