Introduction by Nick Taylor, Urban Renaissance Manager

Welcome to Scarborough's most exciting website.

The aim is to help you find out all there is to know about the town. You might be thinking of moving here, looking for a job, and what the local schools are like for your children.

As this is Scarborough's Renaissance web site you might also be studying the subject, or one of our Town Team members looking for an update.

We have links to all sorts of other sites, but as we are all about change, if you have ideas or comments we welcome them, so please hit the feedback section.
