The East Barnby Outdoor education centre near Whitby is going to have to operate in a more commercial fashion in future.
The site is one of two outdoor centres operated by North Yorkshire County Council which has recently approved a £400,000 business plan for the outdoor education service in the county.
Councillor Patrick Mulligan is executive member for education and skills at the county council:
Councillor Mulligan is confident the site can attract more business:
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.
