Work on a £6.68 million redevelopment of Scarborough Railway Station will start early next year.
Work on the £6.68 million redevelopment of Scarborough Railway Station will start early next year after planning approval was granted last week. The Station Gateway project had previously been deferred owing to concerns about passenger drop-off arrangements and pedestrian safety.
The redesigned forecourt will feature improved pedestrian routes, new seating areas, resurfaced footpaths, tree planting and enhanced public spaces. Key station facilities, including taxi access and disabled parking, will be improved as part of the scheme. North Yorkshire Council says the improvements are intended to strengthen Scarborough's role as a 'public transport hub' and could help unlock future regeneration opportunities, including enhancements within the station building and bringing currently unused areas back into use.
Cllr Mark Crane, North Yorkshire Council's deputy leader, said the approval was 'a major milestone for a project that has been many years in the making'. He added that the council could 'now move forward with significant improvements to one of Scarborough's busiest gateways, creating a more attractive and welcoming entrance to the town for residents and visitors'.
