North Yorkshire County Council says the closure is so that council workers can investigate a 'void' beneath the Birdwatchers car park.

A spokesman said: " Forge Valley in #Scarborough will be closed with a diversion in place from tomorrow (21st Nov) for approximately 2 weeks.

"This is so we can investigate a void beneath the road near the Birdwatchers car park."
