A study to discover future housing needs on the North Yorkshire coast has been launched.
More than 11,000 households have been sent questionnaires as part of a survey being undertaken on behalf of Scarborough Borough Council.
The authority has commissioned the study to find out the likely levels of demand for housing across the borough during the next five years.
Director of housing services Stephen Oldridge said: "This is the first comprehensive review of housing needs to have been undertaken in the borough for some time.
"It will help to ensure that the council's resources are targeted at the areas they are needed most.
