One Step Closer to Aldi
🌟 The Scarborough Rundown - Events, Activities, Live Music & Good News! 😊
In partnership with
Hey Scarborough! Here's what's happening this week 👋
Cayton Low Road has looked the same for months now - fencing, diggers, not much else. That's about to change. Demolition at the £7 million Aldi site should wrap within days, which leaves just one thing standing between Eastfield and a new supermarket: a council verdict. Believe it when you see a checkout.
Over at the Spa Theatre, a rather more settled kind of nostalgia is on its way. The ABBA tribute is coming back for two hours of Mamma Mia and Waterloo on 28 August, 70s fancy dress optional. Dig the platform boots out of the loft, just in case.
If a night away sounds more appealing than an evening watching diggers, Coniston Hotel Country Estate & Spa near Skipton spans 1,400 acres of Dales countryside, with an award-winning spa and grounds built around its own private lake. Balcony rooms make the most of it.
For something further afield, Ikos Odisia sits on its own private bay in Corfu, tucked behind forest and raised above the shoreline. No itinerary required - just the view.

🔥 Moorland Recovery Begins After Fylingdales Fire. More than £5 million will restore peatland and firebreaks burned in last year's blaze, the largest in park history. The fire was started by someone cooking over an open flame.
🏢 Cowork Whitby Packs Up for Summer. The coworking space will close over summer and reopen in September at a more central Whitby location. Where exactly, though, is still to be confirmed.
🛣️ Council Drops £20m Roads Fight. North Yorkshire Council has abandoned legal action against Mayor David Skaith over a £20 million road funding row. Its leader admitted the mayor's power would only grow, so fighting wasn't worth it.
⛽ Burniston Braces for Fracking Fight. A loophole could still allow fracking at Burniston, where Europa Oil & Gas plans low-volume drilling. Locals have already collected more than 10,000 signatures against it.
🏘️ Hundreds of Affordable Homes Get Green Light. A £3.9bn joint venture with developer Lovell will bring 548 homes to Eastfield and 60 to Sandsend Road, Whitby. Only 30 per cent will actually count as affordable.

🛸 Local Dalek Faces the Auctioneer. Built by a retired cabinetmaker in Robin Hood's Bay, Viper the Dalek and a signed Tardis replica go under the hammer in Scarborough. His first Dalek trundled the Bay's streets ordering lockdown compliance.
🎶 Fado & Tide Waits for No One. The Irish pub in Filey wants approval for live music, dancing and outdoor seating on Murray Street. A neighbouring pub's bid for outdoor drinking was refused just months ago.
