Works to repair a wall destroyed in a landslide in Scarborough two years ago, which also damaged a number of beach chalets, is set to get under way.

Image source, Clock Cafe

The chalets, which sit below the Clock Cafe in the town’s South Bay, were damaged by the failure of the retaining wall in March 2018, which left them leaning at a 45-degree angle.

A further slip in November 2018 destroyed most of the Grade II-listed chalets, leading to their collapse.

The area's been closed off ever since, restricting access to the cafe, a popular business with local residents and visitors.

Scarborough Borough Council says: “Consultation has taken place with the tenant of the Clock Cafe by email.

“CAN Geotechnical Ltd has been identified as the preferred tenderer to carry out the work, at a cost of £309,000."

If the contract is approved, CAN has told the council it can start work on the retaining wall at three weeks' notice, with a completion date of mid-August, as construction is legally allowed to continue during the coronavirus lockdown.

Streets around six primary schools in Leeds could be closed to traffic during the school run under plans for an experimental social distancing scheme as lockdown restrictions are eased.

Plans by Leeds City Council will see roads around the schools closed off with cones and signs and would be staffed to allow exempt vehicles to pass, such as those of local residents.

It is hoped this will make social distancing easier for parents taking their children to school, as whole streets would effectively be pedestrianised.

The schools chosen for the scheme are: Ingram Road Primary School, Holbeck; Clapgate Primary, Middleton; Lane End Primary, Beeston; Thorpe Primary in Thorpe; Primrose Hill Primary in Pudsey and Crossgates Primary School, Cross Gates.

It is expected that once the schools are reopened, the closure periods will be 45 minutes in the morning and one hour in the afternoon, with typical closure times being 08:30-09:15 and 14:45-15:45.

A report by council officers claims the pilot scheme is intended to be rolled out to other schools, which could mean further street closures if successful.

It is not known exactly when the measures will be introduced, as Leeds City Council has told schools to make individual decisions on when to reopen due to differing levels of public safety.
