Question: Defra have been in town the last few days ... all of the Yorkshire Coast tourism resorts are at threat not only from coastal erosion and the North Sea reclaiming its borders, but along with Staithes they, including Scarborough, are about to lose their EU/Blue Flag and be deselected as safe bathing beaches. When? Erm, next year ...
When is the next 'report' due?
