Abstract

Scarborough and the High Streets Task Force (HSTF) began working together following a visit by Emma James, a HSTF expert, in February 2022. Based on discussions with the council, property owners and the local theatre director, the subsequent Unlocking Your Place Potential Report outlined how the Task Force could provide further support for Scarborough. The report concluded that, although the existing 15-year vision for Scarborough is to be commended, along with the local authority’s ability to secure Towns Funding, there was a need to activate the town centre for local people through short-term interventions, alongside more permanent measure such as new informal co-working spaces and community facilities.
