"The town is on borderline non-sustainable." The latest article of the Whitby Neighbourhood Plan has been released, concerning the amount of housing available in the area. That's TV spoke with member of @WhitbyCommunity, Andy Jefferson about housing in the area.

#ActiveTravel is noted for being an important driver in health, yet #Whitby district consistently gets no investment in this area, despite high levels of #deprivation. Clearly NYC "coordination" has not reached that area yet ...

⚠️ A171 Spital Bridge junction update. We will be carrying out testing of the new signals on Monday, 8 December. If all goes to plan, they will be working from the end of Monday. Until then, please refrain from moving the cones that are closing the end of Larpool Lane. The end of Larpool Lane is closed for safety reasons until the new traffic signals are switched on. Thank you for your cooperation.

#Whitby NewBridge speed limit to be discussed in a @northyorksc meeting this week, the current 40mph limit is CONTRARY to DfT guidance "The minimum length of a speed limit should generally be not less than 600m ..." ... that section of New Bridge is 475m.

This is directly opposite to the actual investment in #Whitby and district. Maybe @northyorksc need a value for money course ...

In fact walking and cycling investment gives the highest economic return at £5.62 for every £1 invested! Bus investment returns £4 for every £1 invested, rail returns between £2.50 and £4, and roads just £2.50.

#Whitby #CliffLift reports revealed showing problems existed several years ago. Did they get addressed then, or just ignored so they can infill it for £600k? More on this link whitbycommunitynetwork.org/2…

We've been meeting with @northyorksc discussing the #CinderTrack, some recent improvements, areas requiring drainage and path improvements, and how we can work together, including in the wider district. What parts of the track do you think need upgrading?

Fight4Whitby have questioned the length of any proposed tenancies of the #Whitby Maritime Training Hub, given the harbour court case. The legal act restricts all use of harbour land to max 3 yr tenancies. More here whitbycommunitynetwork.org/2…

We have been making the case for improved #ActiveTravel in Whitby area. It seems that the @YNYMayor agrees with the report and the need for funding. Let's see what happens. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2j…
