In October 2023, the government announced its long term plan for towns which sets out how it plans to level up and deliver growth to towns across the country.
It identified 55 towns across the UK to benefit from long term plans and regeneration.
Scarborough is one of the towns identified and will receive £20 million in funding over the next ten years for projects on the following themes identified by government:
• enhancing safety and security
• reviving our high streets, regenerating Scarborough and enhancing our heritage
• improving transportation and connectivity
The Scarborough town board, made up of community leaders, employers, local authorities and the MP for Scarborough and Whitby, will oversee and deliver the long term plan through engagement with the community.
The long term plan will be developed according to the priorities of local people as identified through consultation.
Results from both an online survey and in-person engagement events will help to build a vision for the future of the town and inform the writing of the long term plan which must be submitted to government by 1 August.
From 6 May to 3 June, we are running Let’s Talk Scarborough, a survey on Commonplace, a safe and easy-to-use online tool used to engage with communities.
We want people living and working in Scarborough to have a say on the town’s future by filling in the survey:

As well as our online survey, there will be in-person engagement events that you can attend to tell us your views. See all the Let's Talk Scarborough events on the Commonplace website.
