00:00 So the West Pier project is important to Scarborough because it represents an investment into the fishing industry and into the harbour in general as a whole.
00:09 And I'm hopeful that it acts as a catalyst both especially for the harbour and then for the wider area on the foreshore and further out into the town.
00:20 As a third generation family business that's been in the town since 1970 employing local people we are delighted with the proposed development for the West Pier and will be a renaissance for the town.
00:33 I have a shop here on West Pier and for me the building just isn't fit for purpose. It's not attractive or inviting for local people in the area or visitors.
00:43 We used to have a lovely shop front down here but as you can see from decades of underfunding and poor investment we've been put with scaffolding and boarding outside the shop.
00:53 It's a fisherman's pier and these proposal means it will stay a fisherman's pier while also safeguarding the future.
00:59 This new proposed development will give the fishermen of today and tomorrow a chance to sell to the public their own catch by retail means.
01:09 This scheme is our best opportunity to secure fishermen on the West Pier for decades to come.
