Here's what's happening this week** πŸ‘‹ The most unusual arrival in Scarborough this week didn't come by train. A corn snake turned up [slithering out of a Ford Fiesta headlight on Friday](https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/people/large-snake-saved-after-travelling-20-miles-across-yorkshire-trapped-in-car-engine-8747833?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk), having spent the previous 20 miles coiled around the engine block - entirely uninvited, apparently unbothered. Dave Bigsby of Lilly's Reptile Rescue took two hours to free it; the owner has since been found. Also on Friday, two vehicles had a rather less dignified arrival at North Bay. A van and a Range Rover were [caught by the rising tide](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqj1qde1784o?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk) while collecting jet skis on the sands. The coastguard confirmed the owners were safe and well, then left them to sort out the rest themselves. On slightly drier ground, Scarborough's tourism board has written an open letter to Mayor David Skaith urging him to [scrap a proposed overnight visitor levy](https://www.thisisthecoast.co.uk/news/local-news/scarborough-tourism-board-urges-mayor-to-scrap-proposed-tourist-tax/?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk). A Β£2-a-night charge could raise Β£52.2 million across the region - but the board's concern is that it would simply redirect holidaymakers to Bridlington, which wouldn't pay a penny of it. If you're after a weekend away that's already sorted, Swinton Park in the Yorkshire Dales is a Grade II [castle hotel with a spa and complimentary falconry, fly-casting and deer park tours](https://trivago.tpk.lv/kRCS1Cpv?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk) included for guests.

The owners arranged their own recovery - the coastguard's job ended at "safe and well." πŸ’Έ **Tourism Board Fights the Tourist Tax.** Scarborough's tourism board has published an open letter urging Mayor David Skaith to scrap a proposed overnight visitor levy, warning it would [push holidaymakers towards cheaper options like Bridlington.](https://www.thisisthecoast.co.uk/news/local-news/scarborough-tourism-board-urges-mayor-to-scrap-proposed-tourist-tax/?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk) A Β£2-a-night charge could raise Β£52.2 million a year across the region - Bridlington would collect none of it. 🏰 **A Working 20,000-Acre Estate Where the Activities Are Actually Free.** Swinton Park in the Yorkshire Dales is [a Grade II\* castle hotel with 42 rooms, a full spa, ](https://trivago.tpk.lv/kRCS1Cpv?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk)and complimentary falconry, fly-casting and deer park tours for guests. 🐍 **Snake Hitches Ride to Scarborough.** A corn snake spent 20 miles coiled around a Ford Fiesta engine block before being spotted [slithering out of the headlight](https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/people/large-snake-saved-after-travelling-20-miles-across-yorkshire-trapped-in-car-engine-8747833?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk) in Scarborough. Dave Bigsby of Lilly's Reptile Rescue spent two hours getting it free; the relieved owner has since been tracked down. 🏠 **Whitby Residents Priced Out of Home.** Scarborough and Whitby MP Alison Hume is pushing the Government to license short-term holiday lets, warning they are [forcing long-term residents out](https://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/26176025.licensing-scheme-only-way-regulate-short-term-lets---mp/?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk) of towns like Whitby.
