VANDALISM and the lack of child care provision are two of the key concerns for residents of Scarborough.

People in Eastfield identified these two factors during recent Quality of Life Surveys.

European Funding of approximately £420,000 has been allocated to each of seven wards in the borough to spend on regeneration projects by the end of 2006.

A council spokesman said: "We have targeted specific areas and are identifying their needs.

"There are some core matters that need addressing across the seven wards, but other issues are individual to each area."
