Decision details

Approval for the submission of a funding application to the YNYCA’s Local Authority High Streets Fund for £250,000 to support delivery of the Whitby Parking project

To enable North Yorkshire Council to seek external capital funding to support a priority regeneration project identified through the Town Investment Plan programme.

The option of not applying for external funding was discounted as this would involve result in no improvements to the car park, resulting in the continued seasonal operation of the overflow facility. This approach does not address the core challenge the project seeks to resolve: the overflow car park is unusable during periods of heavy or prolonged rainfall, particularly in the shoulder and off-seasons.
