£70k For Scarborough And Whitby Transport Schemes... Two community transport schemes in Scarborough and Whitby are set to benefit from almost £70,000 in new funding. North Yorkshire County Council will make grants to Dial-a-Ride Scarborough and Whitby and District Community Transport after both charities made bids for monies from the authority. Scarborough Dial A Ride asked the county council for £29,293 towards a new wheelchair accessible minibus to replace an existing minibus which is now eight years old and becoming increasingly expensive to maintain. THANK YOU NORTH YORKSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL! February 2020
