A CONSULTATION exercise has suggested plans for a new leisure development at a North Yorkshire seaside resort are on the right track.
More than 1,000 people filled in questionnaires when an exhibition highlighting the preliminary proposals for Scarborough's North Bay was staged last month.
Of those, 92 per cent felt redevelopment of the site was either very important or important to the town.
The majority also agreed that rejuvenating the North Bay would help the local economy.
Indoor family entertainment rated highly, as well as facilities for sport and for young children. However, only ten per cent supported the idea of a cinema on the site.
Benchmark - the developer behind the project - will now be analysing the response before deciding its next move.
"This initial feedback from the survey is very encouraging and shows that, in terms of people's hopes for the North Bay Project, we are on the right lines," said director, David Rhodes.
"We will now take away the results of the consultation and see how we can use it in our discussions on taking the project forward."
