Doubts over the future of the Royal Hall in Harrogate have again arisen with the disclosure that there is still a funding gap of �5m. Harrogate Council had been hoping the Heritage Lottery Fund would add to the �9m already pledged to the �14m restoration estimate.

New ways to stop the deterioration of the hall are now being considered.
