Calling all Scarborough residents! Join North Yorkshire Council and partners for two days of community action to give Scarborough town centre a Big Spring Clean before the busy summer season. As part of an extensive programme of improvements to revitalise the centre of Scarborough, in addition to cleaning routinely carried out in the town, two community tidy up events have been planned for Friday 28 and Saturday 29 March.

The Big Spring Clean events will focus on litter picking, led by Keep Scarborough Tidy, as well as giving railings a fresh coat of paint and tidying up green spaces by weeding/pruning and planting flowers. You don’t need to bring anything as all equipment, drinks and lunch will be provided. Whether you can spare an hour, a full day or even both days, your help will make a huge difference!

Sign up here, where you’ll also find answers to questions you might have.

A campaign to boost pride in the town will launch early May in partnership with local businesses and community groups. Please email regeneration.north-east@northyorks.gov.uk if you have any questions.
