New Eastfield Action Plan - Scarborough Borough Council

Executive Summary
The New Eastfield Action Plan presents an ambitious vision for the
future of Eastfield Parish
Vision:
A safe, vibrant, happy and healthy neighbourhood where
people want to live, learn, work and achieve their full
potential.
This vision has been developed through partnership of local residents
and organisations delivering services in the area, which will continue as
Eastfield grows. The vision and action plan is needed to sustain and
increase the pace of the positive improvements in Eastfield over recent
years and to capture the unique opportunities that the development at
Middle Deepdale provides.
The aims and objectives of the action plan are to:
• Add momentum to the on-going improvement of Eastfield
• Provide an agreed blueprint for the future
The Action Plan provides a concise summary of local statistics and
information on this community of nearly 6,000 people. A review is made
of past consultations including the 2002 Quality of Life Survey, 2005
Raflatac event, 2007 CAPE and 2011 Neighbourhoods Plan exhibitions.
Together, these present an accurate picture of life in Eastfield today.
This picture is further added to with details of future developments
in and around Eastfield, both the forthcoming development at
Middle Deepdale and the longer term growth opportunities for south
Scarborough.
From all this information a series of priorities for the
future are identified under seven key themes:
• Housing
• Community
• Education and employment
• Retail
• Environment
• Health and wellbeing
• Transport
• Help Eastfield and the development at Middle Deepdale integrate
well together, both physically and socially
• Ensure that the benefits and investments the development at
Middle Deepdale makes in Eastfield are appropriate to its needs
• Encourage increased and sustained community involvement in
the management and improvement of Eastfield
