Scarborough’s updated Town Investment Plan is set to align with ongoing regional development efforts, drawing from previous strategies rather than creating new policies. The initiative aims to address key investment priorities for the town, building on prior work, including a series of past master plans, blueprints, and investment strategies.
The plan aims to consolidate existing objectives identified in the North Yorkshire economic strategy, the previous town investment plan, and the 2021 Scarborough Blueprint, which collectively outline the town’s vision, priorities, and success measures. The emphasis will be on tackling long-standing inequality, a recurring theme throughout past plans, with the focus shifting to mapping current public and private sector actions.
Future steps include engaging stakeholders and reviewing investment priorities already in place. The Area Committee will meet in mid-September to discuss these ongoing efforts, and further public-private collaboration will follow as the plan takes shape.
