Help us to challenge proposed changes by Scarborough Borough Council and fight for the future of our piers and harbour
HOW YOU CAN HELP
The more people who know, the more support we can get.

Scarborough Borough Council (SBC) plans to close Whitby TIC on its present site and let the building out for 21 years on a commercial lease – probably as another food outlet.
The piers and quays are in urgent need of remedial work and proper maintenance.
This could mean a Regatta without the fair on Scotch Head and the Pier.
SBC plan to build a further 9 sales kiosks – plus a public loo – along Pier Road.
