Problems with car parking around Scarborough's Community Stadium are being looked at.

The Borough Council says it is working with the football club and local residents to try and find a solution to parking problems on match days.

Councillor Jim Grieve is the cabinet member for Quality of Life, he says discussions have taken place.

The growth of Scarborough Athletic Football Club is said to have led to the parking problems around the community stadium.

The Borough council says it's been caught out by how quickly the club has grown.

Councillor Jim Grieve says they are now working with the club and local residents to improve the situation.

Scarborough face AFC Fylde at the Flamingo Land Stadium this afternoon, Boro beat Fylde 2-0 when the sides met towards the start of the season. Since then Flyde have climbed to second in the table and have won 9 of their last ten games, they are level on points with league leaders kings Lynn.

Boro, who were buoyed by last Saturdays last minute winner against Blyth are three points adrift of the top two in 5th place going into the game.

It is expected that Will Thornton is the only absentee who awaits scan results on his ankle. New face and recently announced Emmanuel Ilesanmi, on loan from Harrogate Town, will be available for selection.
