An artist's sketch plan of the proposed new street scene layout at Polar Bear Corner, Whitby.

This is a plan view illustrating how the new street could look.

New seating would be added and the area repaved.  Space would be left in the centre for a Christmas tree, and the existing ‘Bridgender’ sculpture would be retained. A new information board would also be installed.

The existing telecom / electrical junction cabinets would be rearranged to make better use of the space.
