Considered – A report of the Corporate Director for Community Development presenting the draft Long-Term Plan for Towns, ten year vision document for Scarborough and seeking authority for the three-year investment plan template to be completed when received from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG).  Authority was sought for both documents to be submitted to the MHCLG by 1 August 2024 and for funding to be accepted from MHCLG to deliver the interventions contained in the initial investment plan.  The report provided information and feedback on the community and stakeholder engagement carried out to support the Vision and Investment Plan.

The Executive Member for Open to Business introduced the report stating that it flowed from the Levelling Up agenda and Scarborough had been selected to receive just under £20 million endowment style funding over the next ten years.  The Scarborough Town Board, chaired by David Kerfoot, had been working with the Council to oversee and deliver the Plan.

Members welcomed the report which would provide opportunities for investment in the economy and tourism for Scarborough.

Resolved (unanimously) – that:
