A consultation on the £11m project ends on October 13th.
Multi-million pound proposals to transform Scarborough’s historic West Pier have been heralded as a “once-in-a-generation opportunity” as formal plans for the scheme are due to be submitted.
The West Pier proposals are part of the £20.2m "Towns Fund" awarded to Scarborough in 2021.
The proposed regeneration scheme aims to supporting and celebrate the town’s fishing and lobster industry as well as replacing the current facilities with modern premises. A public consultation on the plans closes in two weeks time.
Scarborough Harbour master - Captain Chris Burrows - says the scheme will deliver a number of benefits.
The new vision for the West Pier includes a high-quality seafood restaurant, that will increase opportunities to highlight locally caught produce, and a new public space, which could be used for outdoor events and cultural activities. New kiosks, parking and vehicle and pedestrian management, better offices, sheds and warehousing for the fishing sector and new public toilets will also be provided.
Scarborough residents are being urged to have their say on the £11m project, a public consultation on the plan ends on October 13th.
Local Fish Merchant - Shaun Wood - is backing the project.
