At a glanceProposals are designed to celebrate and support the town's fishing industryMichael HendersonA "high quality" seafood restaurant and public events space are part of multimillion-pound plans to revamp Scarborough's historic West Pier.The council said the plans were all about celebrating and supporting the town’s fishing and lobster industry.According to the council, Scarborough is now the second biggest harbour in Europe when it comes to lobster catches.
Shaun Wood, who runs TG Wood, a fish wholesaler which has been based there since 1970, said the plans meant it would remain a "fishermen’s pier". Mr Wood added: "We need to ensure there is something to pass onto the next generation and by diversifying and offering a reason for people to use the West Pier we are ensuring that will happen."North Yorkshire councillor Derek Bastiman said: "The West Pier project is one of the key cornerstones of the regeneration of Scarborough.
“It will respect Scarborough’s heritage as a working harbour while also breathing new life into that area of the seafront for the benefit of the fishing industry."
