Scarborough secures £19.5m for long-term regeneration

Scarborough will receive £19.5 million in government funding over the next decade as part of the Plan for Neighbourhoods scheme, North Yorkshire Council has confirmed.

The funding aligns with the council’s previously developed 10-year vision, which prioritises town centre improvements and better bus services. Other potential projects include enhancements to public spaces, additional seating areas, and further development around Scarborough Station.

Public consultation will continue before a final plan is submitted by winter 2024, and project implementation will begin in spring 2026.

Council leader Carl Les said the funding presents an opportunity to drive long-term economic and community benefits. At the same time, Scarborough and Whitby area committee chair Liz Colling emphasised the need for investment in coastal towns.
