Overnight 11th - 12th February a decrepit caravan was abandoned at the Sawmill Carpark alongside Low Road / Lady Ediths. It must have been towed along Scalby Road at sometime and there is good evidence that suggests it has come from the within Scarborough and from an area close to by. If you saw the caravan being towed and can remember the details of the vehicle towing this can also help the Council to track down the person responsible.
If you recognise this caravan which possibly had some hens kept in it for a short time then please contact Scarborough Borough Council Cleansing Department. Any information provided can be made in confidence.
