Pebble Protest - Dozens Of Painted Pebbles Appear At Scarborough Spa Cliff Lift

Dozens of decorated pebbles have appeared at Scarborough Spa's Cliff Lift, which was closed indefinitely in August due to safety concerns.

Wording on the stones includes "Restore our link. Keep locals moving. Our lift, our community, our future" and "Roses are red, this rock is blue, this isn't a poem, fix the lift".

Scarborough Town Council will be discussing the matter at a full council meeting later today.

Scarborough Spa Cliff Lift was the first of its kind in the country, opening in 1875, celebrating its 150th birthday last year.

At its peak, there were FIVE cliff tramways in Scarborough; 3 in South Bay and 2 in North Bay.
