A Scarborough councillor has revealed an update on something that's been years in the making.
The Town Investment Plan is a combined authority funding pot and the idea is that each town in North Yorkshire has a plan for every place with the aim to understand the investment priorities in each town.
Councillor Liz Colling explained the idea of a plan is nothing new:
"We've had lots of these things, master plans, blueprints, consultations.
"The local plan out there, which sets out a 356 word vision, a North Yorkshire economic strategy, which sets out three pillars, nine themes, 22 priorities, and 21 measures of success at a more local level. There was an investment plan produced a few years ago as part of the town deal that had a vision of 250 words, seven objectives and 18 outcomes.
"In 2021, there was a Scarborough Blueprint, which had a 500 word vision, nine transformational objectives, and three further outcomes. So the proposal is that we won't be reinventing the wheel on the new plan for Scarborough and it's envisioned to pull together a range of existing investment priorities rather than create a whole new set of policies."
Councillor Colling added:
"And I'm sure walking around the town, all of you can identify the areas where you'd like to see that investment. A review of all those policy contexts identified a recurring theme of addressing inequality in this town, and that would be central for the Town Investment plan. The next steps are around mapping existing public private sector actions and some stakeholder engagement.
"You'd be pleased to know the Area Committee meets on the 19th of September. These are the things that I know are on the agenda already, but there may be other things."
