The £7.158m scheme to restore the much-loved South Cliff Gardens in Scarborough, jointly funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund and The National Lottery Community Fund, has been successfully completed.

After months of work, stakeholder feedback and consultation with thousands of residents, our Vision for Filey document will be considered by our senior councillors next week.

Work to develop the vision for Filey began 18 months ago when we asked residents where and how money should be spent in the town over the proceeding 10 years.
Senior councillors will be presented with an annual report which “lays the foundations for a successful North Yorkshire Council” when they meet next week.

Filey got its very own giant seal sculpture yesterday, which doubles as a recycling depository for empty drinks cans and plastic bottles.
The metalwork sculpture of a seal, affectionately named Bonzo, aims to encourage more people to recycle their disposable drink containers after use to prevent them from ending up on the beach and in the sea.
Bonzo is located in a prominent position on the promenade at the bottom of Cargate Hill, next to the Victorian water fountain, looking out towards Filey Brigg.
