Published council-wide context for councils linked to Scarborough, not a finding about the whole place or a property.
These records are published for councils linked to known active postcodes in this place. The councils cover a wider area: a listed designation is not a finding that it intersects this town or any property. The list may not be exhaustive. AQMAs are management designations, not measured pollution concentrations, property exposure or clean-air charging zones. Absence of a designation is not evidence of clean air. Great Britain only; Northern Ireland mapping is not included.
North Yorkshire · council-wide context
Declared pollutant objectives: particulate matter (PM10).
The majority of the village of Staithes.

Mapped Nitrate Vulnerable Zone records are temporarily unavailable for Scarborough. This does not establish whether any designation intersects the settlement outline or indicate water quality.
Original published categories whose polygons intersect the official Scarborough settlement outline, including boundary contact.
These are original category codes and definitions from the retained Source Protection Zones (Merged) dataset whose polygons intersect this place’s official mapped settlement outline, including boundary-only contact. This is not a whole-town or property designation, a finding about a drinking-water supply, or evidence of contamination, water quality or risk. These definitions do not identify individual supplies. Dataset dates do not establish current legal status. Absence of a listed category does not establish that land or a property is outside a zone. England only; separate Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish regimes are not represented. Precautionary groundwater abstraction and land-use designation at a postcode centroid, not an address-level finding or drinking-water quality result. Outside a mapped zone does not establish clean or unprotected groundwater. Welsh zones and the separate Scottish and Northern Irish regimes are not represented.
Zone 1 — inner protection zone, within a 50-day groundwater travel time of the abstraction
Zone 2 — outer protection zone, within a 400-day groundwater travel time of the abstraction
Zone 3 — total catchment, the whole area of ground needed to support the abstraction

Broadband and mobile connectivity
Ofcom publishes these fixed-broadband, full-fibre take-up and mobile coverage profiles for named local and unitary authorities, rather than for town boundaries. They are shown as wider council-area context for Scarborough; availability figures are provider predictions, not measurements at every address.
These highlights come from complete all-premises and residential broadband profiles, both published full-fibre take-up measures, the complete 2G, 3G, 4G, voice, 5G and standalone-5G network-count profiles, and the premises and grid-pixel counts used as the mobile basis. View every published broadband, full-fibre and mobile value.
