Councillor Bill Chatt has asked fellow councillors to take a look at the idea.
A number of local authorities around the country have said they are also looking at setting up Warm Banks, some plan to use council buildings such as libraries and museums as locations for the warm banks, but other's are looking a plans that would work in conjunction with local charities and community groups.
Scarborough Borough Council says it is exploring the idea.
