HISTORIC Malton could soon have a cultural quarter to boost its economy.
The idea goes before Ryedale District Council members this week and includes giving a new look to the Market Place and Milton Rooms, and the building of a new complex.
Architectural firm Bramall Blenkarn, the Fitzwilliam Estate, one of the biggest property owners in Malton, has been in talks with the district council, North Yorkshire County Council and Malton Museum officers on the idea.
The council is being asked to contribute £2,500 towards a feasibility study into the project, which it is hoped will improve the quality of life, as well as the economy of Malton.
