A woman has been issued with an injunction order after her prolonged anti-social behaviour caused misery and distress to residents in Whitby and surrounding areas.
On 21 December last year Scarborough County Court issued the order against Emma Seed, which will be in force until 20 December 2026.
We are one of five innovative UK local authorities joining a new collaborative network to improve our response to homelessness.
We will be part of the What Works Community, created by the Centre for Homelessness Impact (CHI).
Together with our partners we are calling on residents in rural areas in the north of the borough to be extra vigilant during the coronavirus lockdown.
While the borough's overall infection rate seems to be benefiting from the impact of the lockdown with a gradual reduction in the figures reported in the last couple of days, the rates in and around the villages of Danby, Castleton, Staithes and Glaisdale are still high.
Our projects team is celebrating a national award for the work it has been doing to improve protection from the sea along the Yorkshire coast.
Its efforts have been recognised in the Association of Public Service Excellence (APSE) annual awards as it was named best team in the construction and building service category.
It saw off competition from much larger authorities – including Swansea, Lancashire County and Wigan councils – to secure the top accolade.

North Yorkshire’s coast is heading towards Tier 3 restrictions unless everyone takes rapid action to stop the spread of Covid-19 ahead of Christmas.
The rallying cry has gone out to everyone living in Scarborough borough to play their part in the drive to avoid a New Year spike in Covid-19 cases, like the one seen locally in November.
The call comes as infection rates in the area have risen from 132/100,000 to 214/100,000 since the national lockdown was lifted a fortnight ago.
The next milestone in our Better Homes project to provide much needed quality housing that is affordable for local people will be reached tomorrow when our Cabinet will be asked to agree potential models of delivery to develop into business cases.
Council leaders from Craven, Harrogate, Richmondshire, Ryedale, Scarborough and Selby have submitted a full business case to Government, proposing an East & West model as the best option for reorganising local government in North Yorkshire and York.
The full proposal clearly states the benefits of a balanced East & West model for residents, businesses, communities and partners across the whole area.
Visual artists living in the borough are being invited to create a series of striking new artworks for Scarborough.
The artworks will be used on new signposting around the town, and to create vinyl wraps or photo boards to enhance the appearance of empty shops in the town centre. This new project, Scenes from Scarborough, is a joint initiative from Scarborough Borough Council and Scarborough Town Centre Team.
Scarborough Town Centre Team member Rach Drew said:
A housing needs survey is underway in the Snainton and Brompton by Sawdon parishes of Scarborough borough.
We are delivering questionnaires to all households in these areas to see if there is a need for affordable homes, either to rent or to buy, for local people with a strong connection to the parishes.
There is already concern about the lack of affordable housing in rural areas for local people on average incomes, resulting in many people having to leave their village to seek accommodation elsewhere.
