Scarborough water park operator likely to be named this month

A preferred new operator for Scarborough’s Alpamare water park in Scarborough is likely to be appointed this month in time for it reopen to the public in July.

Members of North Yorkshire Council’s executive will meet on Tuesday next week to hear the results of a three-week tender exercise to find a new short-term tenant for the attraction on a 12-month basis. They will be asked to approve plans for officers to enter into negotiations with a preferred bidder.

Deputy leader Gareth Dadd said: “We will now work with the preferred bidder who has experience of operating facilities of this nature and will continue to work towards opening in time for the summer season as we promised when we took this site on.

“We took possession of the site in December last year when Benchmark Leisure Ltd went into administration. To fulfill the aspirations to re-open the facility this summer, the council has been undertaking work to keep the facility in a safe and operational state.”
