North Bay Sands Development Liasion Group

The Sands North Bay Scarborough

Attended my second North Bay liaison group today regarding the sands development FAQ here
In my capacity of Scarborough Hospitality Association Vice President,
roughly here is the present situation;
Work has now officially started, highway diversion operates outside the old corner, hoarding will be going up soon, renovation of part of the old pavilion will commence soon and then demolition of the corner complex.
Mr Rhodes (from Benchmark) is keen to see as little disruption to the locality as possible and is keen to see rubble crushed on site and buried as future hardcore on site. This will be good for the environment.
Local suppliers will be used as much as possible, subject to cost constraints.
Nicholson; a local estate agency is handling the letting of the remaining 2 shop units. Nicholson will also be selling the apartments that are part of the first build. I understand that around 12 flats have already been sold "off plan".
The rest of the meeting was spent discussing proposed traffic routes that big lorries and normal lorries could use so as to minimise disruption to residents. Though I suppose the Scarborough Borough Council already have this worked out? The main big deliveries are the steel from Sheffield and the bathroom pods from Hull. Though I suppose the raw materials for the concrete machine that will undoutably be on site will also be large and regular!
