ONE of North Yorkshire's biggest housing estates has been awarded two £100,000 grants.
The funding is designed to improve the quality of life for 9,000 residents on Scarborough's Eastfield estate.
The Opportunities Centre in the estate's High Street is to get an information technology suite with 16 computers and learning stations, thanks to European Union funding, while the second cash award is for a playground, kick-about area and play area on land at Braeburn, for the Eastfield Tenants and Residents' Association.
Ashley Winspear, project co-ordinator at the Opportunities Centre, said "This money will improve the qualities for learning for the Eastfield residents."
The play area will include a youth shelter, kick-about and basketball court, and the creation of a site for stunt-bike riding and a skate-boarding ramp
