The 2 park and rides both already have toilet facilities and obviously transport into Scarborough town. The car parks are rarely full and some bays could be allocated. Sea life Centre was very popular yet the council have now banned overnight parking. Dean Rd carpark in the centre of town could also make spaces available.

There are over 350,000 motorhomes registered in the UK. Having somewhere to park and sleep overnight (parking, not camping) that is accessible for the town centre will increase motorhome tourism and boost sales in town centre shops/pubs/restaurants etc. This has worked well in places like Canterbury for many years. There could be a restriction of […]

The South Bay is a destination and attraction in its own right, they’re should be no traffic except for access purposes. Removing traffic from Foreshore Rd & Sandside would dramatically raise the tourist appeal! You wouldn’t have a road through Disneyland would you ?

Scarborough has a beautiful station, that feels dark and neglected in the main train shed. All the platforms should be re-paved like what was done at Liverpool Lime St, this would then brighten the place up and make it feel less neglected!

The North & South bay are poorly connected! I would like to see the fabulous miniature railway extended around the corner and along Royal Albert Drive & Marine Drive to the South bay! This will require a road crossing and may necessitate the re-provision of some parking spaces.

There are two fundamental initiatives that need to be addressed comprehensively for the long term economic future of Scarborough. The ongoing pollution issue in the South Bay that is decades overdue which continues to position the town negatively in national terms.

Scarborough needs to make more of its harbour area. The pontoons were a great start and changed the atmosphere hugely. The spare buildings around the harbour could be re-purposed as an upmarket food area, to match the Old Market just up the road. Innovative sea food that will support the local fishing industry, encourage purchase […]

Scarborough Borough Council passed a motion declaring a Climate Emergency in 2019, therefore I believe all new strategies and plans going forward should take this into account specifically working towards making the Borough carbon neutral by 2030. I suggest the following: 1. Promoting more sustainable tourism by improving public transport and zero emission travel such […]

More free play areas for children. If they come as children & enjoy it, they will come back as adults. Encourage them to pick up litter, explain the damage it does & leave bin bags near bins for them to use. With funding we can find enough people to help.

All other suggestions should be assessed against sustainability criteria. This needs to be a cross-cutting theme because everything we do is linked and affects the health and well-being of ourselves, our town and our world, now and in the future. If we are thinking of tourism, we should encourage hotels to be more sparing in […]

Many venues in Scarborough are suitable for holding cinematic programs, the Market Hall, Stephen Joseph Theatre, the Spa, Woodend Museum & the Library. Is there any need for a multi-plex cinema?

There’s an abject lack of children’s playgrounds in any area of Scarborough. Something even close to that in Pannett Park in Whitby is vital. Areas of the South Cliff regeneration area linked to the gardens would be ideal. Given that that area has historically been the children’s area of the South Bay.

After the COVID-19 pandemic passes, we’re going to need to rebuild. That means rebuild the economy, rebuild our working lives and rebuild the town centre.

The environment, the story of the town and young people are 3 key components.

There’s a few key points that the town could focus on just to improve quality of life around here.

It’s a challenge with so many differing socio-economic groups vying for attention and residents possibly the bottom of the heap.

I think there should be further investment into making sure Scarborough and the surrounding areas have access to high-speed fibre internet speeds.

Scarborough looks shabby, this needs to change quickly. Shopping habits have drastically changed in the last 5 years and we need to catch up.
