North Yorkshire Council has awarded a £2 million construction contract for Scarborough railway station's forecourt transformation.
North Yorkshire Council has approved a £2 million contract with its wholly-owned company NY Highways Ltd for construction work on Scarborough railway station's forecourt transformation. The contract, worth £2,017,765, was awarded through the authority's existing highways framework arrangement, paving the way for the long-awaited Station Gateway project to begin in January 2027.
Construction is expected to be completed by January 2028. The improvements form part of a wider £6.68 million regeneration scheme, which was granted planning permission earlier this year. Plans include a redesigned forecourt, improved pedestrian routes, enhanced public spaces, new seating areas, resurfaced footpaths and tree planting to create a more welcoming entrance for residents and visitors.
The work also includes improvements to taxi facilities and disabled parking. North Yorkshire Council has described the redevelopment as a potential catalyst for further regeneration and investment in Scarborough, intended to strengthen the station's role as a transport hub and support wider plans for economic growth.
