Scarborough Borough Council Assesses Whitby Harbour Cash Risk

The case is expected to heard later in the summer, it revolves around whether or not income from land around the harbour needs to be ring-fenced for harbour use, or can be used as part of general council funds.

Borough Council Director - Nick Edwards - says the authority has set money aside in case it's needed.
