Ambitious plan to transform the town’s sporting facilities A new bowling green is to be built on Scarborough’s South Cliff, as part of a big project which will transform the town’s sporting provision. It will be on part of a Scarborough College playing field, owned by Scarborough Council, at the corner of College Avenue and College Lane. The private school is going to build six tennis courts next to the bowling green, alongside College Avenue, and turn Bramcote School’s old playing fields into an athletics track. Two dozen houses and at least 20 flats are to be built on the site of the old sport centre, which includes its tennis courts and the adjacent bowling greens. Scarborough Council is to sell the site to property developer Broadland Properties, which will create the athletics track and build the homes and tennis courts. The council will build the bowling green. Broadland envisages “a low-density development of high-quality executive housing sensitive to the needs of the local conservation area”. The council says: “The development will satisfy the need for modern luxury homes in the area, to encourage senior professionals connected to the potash, off-shore wind and other emerging industries to relocate to the borough of Scarborough. “Developments of this kind are an important part of the council’s strategy to boost economic development on the Yorkshire coast”. The new bowling facilities will become South Cliff Bowls Club’s new home, not far from its old base.
“The new adjoining tennis courts will be constructed to national competition standard and will transform the provision of tennis facilities in the borough”, the council says. The private school’s 400 metre, IAAF accredited “international competition standard” oval athletics track and its new tennis courts will be available for use by the local community and visiting groups.
