world class businesses are growing in Scarborough. At the heart of all this is Woodend Creative Industries Centre, this building alone supports over 50 small businesses who have a global presence developing everything from software to graphic design to international photography. Woodend has been a catalyst which has stimulated the sector and encouraged new companies to start up and others to re-locate to the area and the sector is now a major part of the GDP of the Borough. To support all of this economic growth,
the borough council have already given planning permission for 3,000 new houses and work is progressing rapidly at Middle Deepdale with 1350 new homes being built in the south of the town. Furthermore, the recently completed new Local Plan provides a commitment to build 10,000 new homes by 2030. All this new and proposed investment in
the area has also created a huge demand for skilled construction workers. The new Scarborough Construction Skills Village was therefore established led by Northern Regeneration, sponsored by Scarborough Borough Council, and supported by industry partners, the developers, and the CITB. The village is training the new construction workers who will help build the Borough’s new future. To underpin all this investment and to
support future economic growth, business expansion and supply chain development, the Council has recently set up two new Business Development Zones at Scarborough and Whitby Business Parks. Targeted sectors are able to benefit from discretionary business rate relief and other support. David Kelly, Regeneration Manager at
Scarborough Borough Council said; “It really is a great pace to be. We are
benefitting from levels of investment that have never been seen before and our plans will deliver 100’s of well paid highly skilled jobs over the coming years. If you want to be part of our journey, get in touch and we will see how we can help.” Communications from the Borough to
the rest of the UK are excellent. York is 45 miles away and a short 48 minute rail journey. The traveller is then at the heart of the UK rail network with London and Edinburgh both less than 2 hours away making it possible to be in the centre of either capital by 9.30am. Leeds is 1 hr 20 minutes and Manchester is 2 hrs 15 minutes from Scarborough so the connections are good. Airports too are well provided for with
Leeds / Bradford, Humberside, Teeside, Doncaster and Newcastle all within easy reach. So, the place is rapidly changing with
millions of pounds being invested, but, what’s it like to live here? With outstanding shows and events at the Stephen Joseph Theatre (where Sir

The retail offer within the town centres of Scarborough, Whitby and Filey all offer a great range of shops, from national brands to very high quality owner operator businesses. Supporting all of this the area has a great range of schools with excellent state and private educational facilities and when it comes to extra-curricular activity, there is something for everyone to do.
