Home      Shelters
There are 13 shelters in the South Cliff Gardens and during 2007 major improvements were made (Click on this link to see a before and after).
 
If you see damage, including graffiti, in the Gardens report it to the Council by 'phoning the Anti-Social Behaviour Hot-Line 384444.  Please do not assume that someone else has already reported it.  If you walk regularly in the Gardens, and see damage or graffiti that you have not seen before, please report it! 
Crime recording statistics are used when the authorities decide where to focus their resources.  The police say that reports of anti-social behaviour in South Cliff Gardens are at a lower level than in other parts of Scarborough. 

Restoration of Shelter 3 in South Cliff Gardens: 2012 is the 150th anniversary of shelter 3 in South Cliff Gardens. We believe this is an important part of our heritage and thought to be the work of Sir Joseph Paxton (1803-1865) and it would be wonderful if it could be restored to its former glory.

In 1969 it was converted into an electricity sub-station. NEDL has previously had two sub-stations in South Cliff Gardens but the one which was in shelter 3 has been relocated into the Spa buildings. We could now restore the shelter but we need funding to ensure the work is done on a timely basis. The Civic Society has made a bid to “Voice Your Choice” for some of the funds required. Put simply Voice Your Choice is about giving ordinary residents the chance to decide for themselves which community projects get funded and which ones do not.

Decisions will be made at an event on Wednesday 20 June 2012 5 to 8pm at the Central Library where local residents can vote for the projects they would most like to see funded. People who vote must be residents of any of the following Wards: Castle, Central, Ramshill, Falsgrave Park, Woodlands, North Bay, Northstead, Weaponness and Stepney.

If you live in any of these areas do please make a note of the date and come along and vote for our project.
