FOCUS ON WHITBY & SCARBOROUGH
Nick Taylor
Those days soon disappeared with the onset of the recession however because of those successful early projects the benefits are still felt today and will continue to be felt well into the future.
FOCUS
The council’s focus since those days and Alex’s responsibilities within it are many – as a local authority it had to…
• Position itself in this new world and understand what it's role was
• How it could best deliver services and amenities for our economy and communities
• Achieving goals in a different environment with a far more commercial approach in everything that they do
• Taking a far more entrepreneurial approach to business
• Working much more closely with industry and the private sector
ONGOING SUCCESS
This approach has brought much success over recent years utilising public and private sector funding and are now in a position to receive £3 billion worth of investment over the next 10-15 years to completely transform the local economy and therefore greatly improve the community’s way of life generally.
Scarborough is often understood to be ‘just a seaside tourist resort’ but it is however very much more than that with major blue chip companies and organisations choosing to move there because of its diversity and ready-made supply chain – some of which our readership will find have contributed editorial within this spotlight feature.

WORKING WITH OTHERS TO ENSURE FUTURE SUCCESS
One of the subject areas which Alex was keen to express was the council’s keenness to make itself known outside of its area, recognising the importance of working and learning from others – this has included being instrumental in the setting up, some 4 years ago, of an APPG (All Party Parliamentary Group) which meets at Westminster regularly.
