  "seo_desc": "Tyres in Ripon and the villages around it fitted at home, at work or at a local garage. Compare brands for your size and see the fitted price first.",
  "lead": "Ripon is one of England's smallest cities, a market town with a cathedral on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales. Compare tyres for your car, have them fitted at home in Ripon or a nearby village, or choose a local garage, and see the fitted price before you pay.",
  "driving": [
    "Ripon is small and quiet, but it sits on busy roads. The A61 bypass carries traffic between Harrogate and Thirsk, and the A1(M) runs a few miles east at junction 50. Many locals commute to Harrogate, Leeds or York, so their cars cover plenty of miles on fast roads.",
    "West of the city, the roads climb into Nidderdale and the Dales. Lanes towards Kirkby Malzeard, Pateley Bridge and Masham are narrow, steep in places and often wet, with sheep, tractors and loose gravel. Winter can bring snow and ice on the higher ground long before the city sees any.",
    "The River Ure and the River Skell meet at Ripon, and low lying roads nearby can flood after heavy rain. Ripon has no Clean Air Zone charge for drivers."
  ],
  "mobile": "Most Ripon homes have drives, and many of the surrounding farms and villages have plenty of space. Choose your spot, add any notes about lanes or gates, and the fitter brings your tyres, fits and balances them where the car is and takes the old ones away.",
  "workshop": "If you would rather visit a garage, workshops on the network around Ripon list their distance and their fitted price before you book. A workshop is the right place for an alignment check after a rough lane.",

  "team": "We love Ripon because it keeps its traditions. The Wakeman still sets the watch every evening, the market still fills the square and Fountains Abbey is just down the road. It is a small, friendly city on the edge of beautiful countryside, and its drivers spend a lot of time on country lanes where good tyres matter.",
