Fame at last for 'perfect' Harrogate roundabout
There's really no getting round it. Thanks to its 'manicured lawn, pungent flower beds and tropical bush', the busy gyratory is July's star on the UK Roundabout Appreciation Society's (UKRAS) Best of British Roundabouts calendar for 2016.
UKRAS President Kevin Beresford - Lord of the Rings - says roundabouts really do not come much better than ours.
