'So how did you get involved in the Friends of Royal Albert Park?'I heard about the group through the town team meetings. It's an area
I've always loved, and always walked through. When the landslip
happened I felt really sad that the area was falling into decline.
I've been trying to do my bit and I think we're finally getting there.
I've been tidying, litter picking and cutting down rose bushes big
enough to need a full tractor and trailer to remove .. just trying to
keep the momentum.
We did a walk at Halloween with Tim Mutton from the council dressed as
the grim reaper . He's been helping us with the design, particularly
earthworks and paths.
The kids using the skatepark have been brilliant, and very patient.
'Do you have any special memories about North Bay?'
Actually my earliest memory is trying to climb up to the castle and my
mum dragging me back. More recently I've enjoyed the surfing
competitions, very inspiring.
Whenever we visited Scarborough we used to walk around the castle to
get the air. It's like a refuge, it's therapeutic. If you have any
worries, just walk around marine drive and by the end they're all gone
and you feel renewed.
