FUNFAIRS will be making a return to Ripon Market Square.
For two years, fairs were banned from the site after fears the rides and sideshows would damage a £2m repaving scheme.
But a trial return has revealed no problems and Harrogate Borough Council's cabinet member for resources, Councillor Jim Clark, has indicated the fairs can return.
Taxi driver Tony Simpson, who campaigned for the permanent return of the fairs, said: "They are coming back home to where they belong and I am delighted."
