As part of our Better Homes project we have identified land we own at 12 sites throughout the borough, which has the potential to be used for the delivery of quality housing that is affordable for local people.
All 12 locations have previously been subject to consultation as part of our current Local Plan but as eight of the sites are classed as public open space, Cabinet will be asked next week to approve these locations to go forward for additional public consultation.
Plans to spend £1,000,000 to improve Filey, Whitby and Scarborough seafronts will be put before our Cabinet next week (20 April).
Councillors will be asked to approve the massive investment to refresh and renew tired and run down infrastructure in the three towns.
The money – part of our capital strategy agreed in February - would be spent sprucing up the seafronts with new seating, improved amenities like public toilets and new floral displays.
Work has begun to install new wayfinding signs in Scarborough.
Known as ‘totems’ or finger posts, the signs are common in big towns and cities to help visitors get their bearings or to find local information.
The first totems, which feature a map of the area they are in, as well as helpful information like walking times to nearby attractions, have been placed on Foreshore Road with others to follow over the coming weeks.
Four candidates will stand in the election for the North Yorkshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner, due to take place on Thursday 6 May.

The councillors and officers of Scarborough Borough Council have expressed their extreme sadness at the news of the death of HRH The Duke of Edinburgh.
On behalf of the whole council and reflecting the sentiments of many of the borough’s communities, the Mayor of the Borough of Scarborough, Cllr Hazel Lynskey, said:
Leisure centres in Scarborough are set to reopen from Monday 12 April, after receiving the government’s go ahead for Step 2 of the roadmap.
Scarborough Sports Village, Pindar Leisure Centre and Whitby Leisure Centre, managed by sports and leisure operator Everyone Active in partnership with Scarborough Borough Council, will reopen following a three-month closure due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The government confirmed yesterday (5 April) that leisure centres would be safe to reopen from next week with strict operational measures in place.
A search is underway to find 20 people from the Eastfield area of Scarborough to help decide where £150,000 of regeneration money is spent for the benefit of residents and the community.
A regeneration partnership – called the ‘Eastfield PACT’ - was established in early 2019 and we approved a three year support package totalling £1.4m in the middle of last year.
The group of 20 residents will be asked to give up a few hours of their time to decide how money is invested in Eastfield as part of an initiative called ‘cash for causes’.
