Dallamires Lane to Market Place: delivering for Ripon businesses

The trade side of Ripon sits by the A61 bypass. Screwfix, Toolstation and MKM are on the units round Dallamires Lane and Charter Road, Travis Perkins is on Boroughbridge Road, and Ripon Business Park's small units are off the B6265 nearby. Loading there is easy, with yards and wide entrances. A run of timber, plasterboard or kitchen units goes out to a job in the city or a farm along the A6108, and lengths up to the 3.4m floor travel flat.

Delivering into the centre is slower. Shops on Market Place, Westgate, Fishergate and Kirkgate have no rear yards in many cases, the streets are narrow and partly one way, and Market Place is full of stalls on Thursdays and Saturdays. A delivery to a shop there is timed for another morning, or wheeled from a side street. St Michael's retail park off Rotary Way, with its M&S food store, sits outside the market streets, so ask the store which door takes deliveries.

Arranging business deliveries in Ripon

Give the unit number on Dallamires Way or Charter Road and the opening hours of the yard
Name the delivery door at a Market Place or Westgate shop, and avoid Thursday morning
Say whether stock is boxed or in loose lengths, and how heavy it is; palletised goods are carried only if they can be broken down and lifted by hand, as there is no forklift or tail-lift
Shopfitting kit or displays for a shop in the centre can go in on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, when the square is clear
For a delivery round the city, tell us the route and the stops, and the run gets a fixed price agreed before we set off
