Whitby residents are being urged to have their say on the £2.3m redevelopment project.
Plans for the future of the area around Whitby Swing bridge are not set in stone.
That's the message from the team behind the current public consultation on a £2.3m redevelopment project.
Area Highways manager for Whitby - Richard Marr - says the ideas presented in the current consultation documents are there to spark conversations.
Whitby residents are being encouraged to have their say on the future of the area around Whitby Swing Bridge through the consultation which runs until December 22nd.
Whitby Town Councillor Sandra Turner says it's important local people get involved.
North Yorkshire Council says it is looking for views on six separate public areas:
Zone 1: New Quay Road at the junction with Langborne Road and Station Square
Zone 2: West of the swing bridge
Zone 3: Swing bridge north east corner
Zone 4: Church Street at the junction with Bridge Street
Zone 5: Tin Ghaut, the former car park adjacent to Grape Lane
Zone 6: A171 New Bridge/Spital Bridge junction
It has released a series of artist impression of how the areas could look.
North Yorkshire Council’s executive member for highways and transport, Cllr Keane Duncan, said:
“Whitby draws thousands of tourists each year who come to admire its heritage, gothic traditions, beaches and its location on the Jurassic Coast.
“This pedestrian-focused scheme offers the opportunity to enhance the public spaces and green infrastructure around the Whitby Swing Bridge, improving the experience for visitors and enhancing the quality of life for residents.
“We are encouraging people to look at the proposals and share their views as we shape the project going forward. By utilising this money, we look to celebrate Whitby’s past whilst adapting to the needs of today and preparing for the future.”
