I AM now 55 and have been going to Scarborough since I was a child. I believe it has actually gone backwards ('Time to stop the seaside slide', August 4). Nothing has been done to improve the place for 40 years or more.
Councillor Kettlewell thinks money should be spent on upgrading the Spa. Is that the only place Scarborough Council thinks about? A lot of money was spent on that place years ago. Most people are not bothered about the Spa or conferences. People want a decent holiday resort.
The harbour needs upgrading long before any more money is spent on the Spa. The sea-front is a filthy disgrace now, with seagulls nesting on window sills. This should have never been allowed to happen. The North Bay seems to have been forgotten altogether. Money needs spending here too. No decent theatres anymore, just eyesores.
Spend money on more important things for the holidaymakers or they won't come to see you.
