There are calls for the operating hours of Whitby's Park and ride to be extended and for the situation with floodlights at the site to be reconsidered.
Currently the site - which is just inside the national park - isn't allowed to use floodlighting - limiting it's opening hours during the winter.
Whitby Town Councillor Heather Coughlan thinks that should be changed.
Whitby Mayor Linda Wild thinks the whole winter parking situation in the town needs to be looked at.
This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.
A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
