Tom Gordon MP congratulates Harrogate Stray Association with motion in Parliament

Tom Gordon, the Liberal Democrat MP for Harrogate and Knaresborough put
forward a motion in Parliament this week recognising the Harrogate Stray
Association’s 93 years of dedicated service to the local community.

The MP Tabled an Early Days Motion, marking the Association on the official record
in Westminster, and used it the opportunity to congratulate the group on their
continued hard work.

The motion also recognises it’s renaming from the Stray Defence Association to the
Harrogate Stray Association- a change which reflects its “proactive, community
focused mission”.

It marked the wider importance of “preserving accessible public green spaces and
historic landscapes”, with the Stray acting as a vital example of cherished community
parkland.

Tom said:

“Almost a century of dedicated service to our community is no mean feat and I
commend their commitment to protecting the 200 acres of open green space at the
heart of our town.”
