A beauty spot near Scarborough has been added to a list for funding to address safety concerns.
Cayton Bay has become increasingly popular with tourists, but that has brought some safety concerns from local officials.
Worries have been raised about the need for railings to protect families and older people on the steep route down to the sands.
£20,000 has been allocated to improve safety measures.
Here's Councillor Roberta Swiers:
This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.
A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
