As Scarborough and Whitby plan how to spend a £37m windfall from the Government's town deal fund, Filey has been promised it won't be overlooked.
Filey wasn't eligible to apply for funding through the town deal scheme, but Borough Council Chief Exec, Michael Greene, says investment money is on the way for the town.
Mr Greene believes there is a lot that can be done in Filey to improve some of it's "key assets", he says discussions with town councillors about what the resort needs are already underway.
As part of the government’s Towns Fund announcement in the Budget on March 3, Scarborough was awarded £20.2 million and Whitby secured £17.1 million to boost their economic growth.
An eight week project is now under way to finalise the spending plans.
Nine projects for each town, which aim to improve and bring new opportunities for skills and enterprise, cultural activities, the environment, connectivity, well-being and sustainability, were proposed as part of the funding bids.
