The work in Scarborough began in May 2018 after fears of a major landslip damaging or destroying properties in the South Cliff area and the Spa complex.

It involved inserting 4,585 soil nails and 225 steel piles to reinforce the cliff’s slope.

Councillor Jefferson said she couldn't given enough praise to the project's "feat of engineering", which is being carried out by infrastructure group Balfour Beatty.
