Here's what's happening this week** πŸ‘‹ Around 400 workers at Scarborough's Alexander Dennis plant [are walking out for a week](https://www.thisisthecoast.co.uk/news/local-news/scarborough-alexander-dennis-bus-factory-workers-to-strike-over-pay/?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk) after rejecting a 4% pay offer. Since 2021, RPI has risen 35.1% while wages at the plant rose 15.3%. The union and the company will no doubt each have a view on what those numbers mean. With temperatures pushing demand well above normal, Yorkshire Water is [asking customers to use less](https://www.thisisthecoast.co.uk/news/local-news/yorkshire-water-urges-customers-to-use-water-wisely-during-heatwave/?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk). Monday alone saw 1.485 billion litres used across the region, 150 million above the seasonal average. That's enough to supply Leeds for a day, which gives you some sense of where things stand. Humberside Police have [a new approach to illegal e-bikes and scooters](https://www.thisisthecoast.co.uk/news/local-news/police-deploy-drones-to-tackle-illegal-e-bikes-and-scooters-on-the-yorkshire-coast/?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk) along the Yorkshire Coast: drones. Rather than trying to intercept riders in the moment, they follow them from the air until they stop, then move in. A fair number of those being caught are aged 13 to 15. If you're thinking about a break while the weather holds, [Gilpin Hotel & Boat House](https://trivago.tpk.lv/H7BJSksC?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk) runs across two estates near Windermere, linked by a private chauffeur. Many rooms have their own hot tubs, and Lake House sits directly on Knipe Tarn. All of that, plus a full week of events, inside. πŸ‘‰ **Follow us on** [**Facebook**](https://www.facebook.com/scarboroughinsideruk) **or** [**Instagram**](https://www.instagram.com/scarboroughinsideruk?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk) **for more updates!** πŸ‘‰ [Sign Up Here](#/portal/signup) to receive β€œThe Scarborough Rundown” twice a week - it’s free! ### Adventure travel built for families ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f2/07/f207146b-9285-4e58-86db-8cc479fe2978/content/images/2026/09/2603241921_pr_premium-newsletter-imagery_1200x600_borneo-1-t-1779377394.jpg) Intrepid Travel has just launched its new [Premium Family range](https://www.intrepidtravel.com/family?utm%5Fcampaign=IIBLWLKQFZ&utm%5Fsource=beehiiv&utm%5Fmedium=newsletter&%5Fbhiiv=opp%5Fccac46ea-a138-47ee-915d-de777478fd74%5Fdda3fb78&bhcl%5Fid=70166a92-f538-46c9-bd3b-66d636a8cb2c%5FSUBSCRIBER%5FID%5F{{email%5Faddress%5Fid}}) β€” eight new trips across Costa Rica, Sri Lanka, India, Borneo, Vietnam, Morocco, Thailand and Egypt.
