Scarborough Harbour is a working port with the second largest shellfish fishery on the East coast as well as being a key tourist destination for the town, so the aim of the project is to find a way for these two industries not just to co-exist but to benefit each other and the wider town.
Following an engagement process, learning from the harbour’s workers and the project’s key stakeholders, the vision focuses on integrating the working areas of the harbour with the public desire to explore and enjoy the West Pier as an experiential tourist attraction, whilst ensuring that the working harbour activities remain at the core of any new proposals.
