Whitby Marina Onshore Facilities
Scarborough Borough Councils Technical Services and Regeneration and Planning Services have been working in partnership with stakeholders over the past 4 years to bring to fruition a number of initiatives at Whitbys’ Upper Harbour in a bid to develop and diversify the economic, leisure and cultural facilities the town has to offer.
The current scheme commenced with the installation new pontoon berths in the river Esk for use by both resident and visiting leisure craft. These were completed in February 2007 and proved highly successful with full occupancy achieved upon opening.
In May 2008 of rock armour (revetment) works were completed to the west shore of the River Esk in order to stabilise river bank erosion and secure the future of the site as well as improve its aesthetic appearance.
The quality of the pontoons and the economic benefits they have brought to the town is already evident and visitor craft numbers have increased.
Research suggests that each leisure craft vessel within will spend in the region of £3,500 within the local economy in addition to moorings fees.
Therefore this industry makes a valuable contribution to the local economy of the town.
However, in order to capitalise fully on the potential of Whitby as a leisure craft destination new marina onshore facilities are required to replace the existing outdated ones.
It is the intention of the project to develop onshore facilities which will act to promote Whitby as a high quality leisure craft destination both nationally and on the European stage.
We look forward to receiving your comments and input for the scheme.
This consultation is intended to obtain feedback and comment on proposals for the creation of new Onshore Marina User Facility at Whitby Upper Harbour, Langborne Road, Whitby.

Final adventures of Roy & Anne 2008
Hi Guys.
Well here we are sat in Las Vegas airport about to go to New York for 2 nights before flying home on Wednesday.
We left you last time just about to head up towards Seattle area - we went over on the ferry to Vancouver Island through the San Juan Islands - seeing lots of yachts in Friday Harbour on the way!Had a day out in Victoria in blazing sun - and went on to Butchart Gardens - a stunning place. We then travelled the length and breadth of the island taking 2 weeks. Here the weather was very different from the hot sun we have encountered most of the time - cool, rainy - well what can you expect when the whole island seems to be a huge rainforest!Back to mainland Canada we journeyed through Whistler - busy getting ready for the Olympics and on to Yoho National Park, Lake Louise and then Banff - where it snowed !We went south to Waterton International Peace Park which was wonderful and the weather improved. We had some lovely walks. Down across the border and into Glacier International Peace Park in Montana ( they are connected) and here we saw more bears than we did in Yellowstone - awesome!! Also did some great walks.Moved down to Yellowstone Park again and the Tetons where the wildlife viewing was much better than in July as they are all moving down out of the mountains. We stayed about 2 weeks and then moved south to Capitol Reef again where the temperature just got hotter and hotter - and the apple and pear orchards were ready to pick.
Continued south into Zion Park where we managed to hike The Narrows - as river level down - we walked about 2 miles up into the canyon - it was fun. Finally we have just spent 9 days at Lake Mead (26 miles from Las Vegas) where we did lots of cleaning, polishing and sorting things out to put car and trailer in store - and thats what we've been doing today. We did venture into Vegas for 2 days while the car was having warranty work done - what a place - wall to wall gambling 24/7 - good to see but every 10 years is enough!
Had a bit of a fit when I saw the 10ft wide space we had to back trailer into - but Superb Roy did it in one !!!! Wound the legs down, unhooked the car and then he says - Its not in the middle of the space!! So wound legs down, put towbar on and moved it ! Now its perfect - can't have the man phoning us saying come back and re-site it! So that's the end of a perfect vacation - we have had the most amazing time, we are still married !!!! and we can't wait to come back in March and do it all again. We hope everyone is well and look forward to seeing you soon.
