Scarborough harbour plan will broaden resort’s appeal – The Yorkshire Post says

There are plans to transform the site of the former Futurist Theatre, now demolished, on the resort’s main promenade while the new blueprint being drawn up for the resort’s harbour offers further scope.

Progress needs to be made. Even though British tourism is likely to enjoy a short-term boost once the coronavirus has passed, towns like Scarborough must continue to innovate if they’re to attract a new generation of tourists.

Long before the Covid-19 pandemic, The Yorkshire Post was arguing for a dedicated Minister for the Coast and Flooding because of the specific challenges facing resorts. We stand by this. Now, more than ever, they need regeneration plans that are deliverable, affordable and in keeping with their character.
