Here's what's happening this week** ๐Ÿ‘‹ The council has spoken, and the motorhomes are moving on. The parking restrictions in North Bay and Sandsend are now a permanent fixture of our coastline. Despite a fairly vocal consultation featuring 3,000 grumbling responses, [the trial has been deemed a success](https://www.thisisthecoast.co.uk/news/local-news/yorkshire-coast-camper-van-consultation-outcome/?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk) by the powers that be, aiming to keep our coastal vistas clear of "unsavoury" overnight activity.

There is even a town trail for those who fancy a bit of mystery with their eyeliner. ๐Ÿš  **Cliff Lift Hangs by a Thread.** After 5,600 locals signed a petition, the 95-year-old lift has [escaped permanent closure](https://www.thisisthecoast.co.uk/news/local-news/whitbys-cliff-lift-saved-for-the-time-being-following-council-meeting/?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk)โ€”for now. While the "fantasy" ยฃ5.5 million repair bill is being scrutinised, the council is binning the replacement bus service, which only carried ten people a day. ๐Ÿ• **Pizza in the Park.** Haven is looking to [slice into the takeaway market](https://www.thisisthecoast.co.uk/news/local-news/plans-for-new-papa-johns-takeaway-near-flamborough/?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk) by bringing a Papa Johnโ€™s to Thornwick Bay.

If heavy metal or Motown isn't your bag, there is always the *Faulty Towers* dining experience for a side of scripted chaos. ๐Ÿ  **Coastal Comfort at Filey.** The Principle Trust has opened a [new fully accessible holiday home](https://www.thescarboroughnews.co.uk/news/people/childrens-charity-opens-fully-accessible-respite-home-at-primrose-valley-filey-5953990?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk) at Primrose Valley to support families with complex medical needs.

The plan involves weather-resistant "cellular paving" for the overflow car park, ensuring visitors don't need a tractor to exit after a typical Yorkshire downpour. ๐Ÿš‚ **Derailed in Hunmanby.** Plans for 19 new homes beside the railway line have been [firmly rejected](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqxd54jg831o?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk).
