About NYH Property
Welcome to our new Property division at NY Highways.
You might be wondering, “Why does a Highways team need tradespeople?” It’s a fair question. Since our inception in 2021, NY Highways has been committed to serving the communities of North Yorkshire. Expanding into property services is a natural next step in that commitment, making sure the buildings people use every day are safe, well maintained, and fit for purpose.
I’m proud to introduce our NYH Property, who works closely with schools, colleges, residential homes, and other community buildings and landmarks to deliver high-quality renovation, maintenance and support.

We’re passionate about creating a happy, family-friendly work environment and want you to feel a valued and supported team member. Our team benefits from:
- A dedicated work van
- Tool allowance
- Regular overtime opportunities
- Wellbeing support, including sick and holiday pay
This is an exciting time for us as a growing division within NY Highways, and we’d love for you to be part of NYH Property! Explore the exciting opportunities within this growing division and we hope you’ll join us on this new venture.

Ryan Martin,
Head of NYH Property

NYH Property officially launched on 1 February 2026 and in the first phase, the department’s focus is on:
- Building a strong team – recruiting effectively and supporting new starters.
- Setting up clear processes – establishing systems for reporting, prioritising and monitoring work.
- Managing high demand – maintaining service levels across a large property portfolio.
- Bringing more work in‑house – improving responsiveness and value for money.
We are developing a skilled in‑house team capable of delivering both planned and reactive maintenance, reducing reliance on external contractors and improving efficiency, quality and long‑term value.
Our work includes:
• Capital Projects
• Building Refurbishment and maintenance
• Asset & Estate Improvements
• Regeneration projects
Projects
North Yorkshire Council is investing £40m in a major programme of improvements to leisure facilities across the county, helping to create modern, accessible spaces that support healthier and more active communities for years to come. The investment will fund significant upgrades at leisure centres in Pickering, Selby, Skipton and Whitby, which will be developed into health and wellbeing hubs. Planned improvements include enhanced swimming pool accessibility, modernised reception and public areas, upgraded changing facilities and the creation of additional studio spaces. A further £3m will be invested in new gym and fitness equipment across 12 leisure sites, ensuring residents have access to high-quality facilities that encourage active lifestyles and support physical and mental wellbeing.
Reopening Richmond Swimming Pool
As part of this ambitious programme, NY Highways & NYH Property is proud to be transforming Richmond Leisure Pool. This £1.1 million project will restore and reopen Richmond Swimming Pool, following its closure in 2025 due to structural issues with the ceiling.
This includes replacing the building’s ceiling alongside mechanical and electrical repairs, and the safe removal of sealed asbestos from the roof space. While the pool is are closed, alongside the essential repairs, a series of further improvements are also being carried out. These include enhanced lighting both poolside and in the customer café, as well as upgrades to the site’s heating system.
Delivering Better Facilities for Communities
Through careful planning, collaboration and delivery, this refurbishment project represents a significant investment in the community and demonstrates a shared commitment to creating a modern vibrant space where Richmond residents can stay active, improve their wellbeing and connect with others.
Timescales
As a result of additional improvements, together with some extended work required for scaffolding installation, completion is now expected by the end of 2026.
We are delighted to be redeveloping a legacy landmark in a historic seaside town.
West Pier is a vital part of Scarborough’s South Bay, serving both as a working harbour and a popular destination for visitors.
North Yorkshire Council are seeking to revitalise the pier so it can continue to support local businesses while becoming a more accessible, attractive and sustainable place for everyone to enjoy. NYH Property are delighted to be the contracting authority to support this restoration of a key North Yorkshire landmark.
This is not a conventional construction project. We will revitalise a historic working harbour while safeguarding its maritime heritage and supporting future commercial, fishing and visitor economy growth. It is a complex waterfront regeneration programme combining heritage restoration, new-build commercial development, operational harbour infrastructure, public realm improvements and climate resilience measures; all delivered within an active harbour environment.
Project Overview
As a key piece of harbour infrastructure, the pier has been exposed to decades of harsh marine conditions. Maintenance alone is no longer enough. Long-term investment is now needed to address structural condition, improve safety and resilience, and meet increasing demands.
Our proposals include restoring and refurbishing historic buildings, bringing them back into active and productive use. Some ageing structures will be replaced with modern, flood resilient buildings designed for commercial use. There will also be new opportunities for businesses, including kiosks and improved public facilities, alongside upgrades to infrastructure at the pier entrance.
The plans will enhance the public realm, creating clearer, safer and more accessible pedestrian routes. While some existing buildings will be demolished to make way for new development, others will be carefully repaired, ensuring Scarborough’s maritime heritage is preserved and celebrated.
North Yorkshire aspire that this project will:
- Protect Scarborough's maritime heritage.
- Strengthen the local fishing economy.
- Improve public access and visitor experience.
- Deliver long-term climate resilience.
- Support future harbour growth.
- Create a landmark waterfront destination for future generations
Opportunities and Challenges
West Pier is a live operational harbour that must continue supporting fisheries, commercial tenants, visitors and emergency services throughout delivery. The successful team will need to balance construction activity with ongoing harbour operations, public access requirements and a busy visitor economy.
Key challenges include:
- Refurbishment of ageing harbour buildings exposed to decades of harsh marine conditions.
- Working within a constrained waterfront environment whilst maintaining business continuity.
- Restoring heritage assets whilst meeting modern building, accessibility and sustainability standards.
- Delivering flood mitigation and climate resilience measures across the site.
- Managing complex stakeholder interests across harbour users, local businesses, visitors and the wider community.
- Maintaining safe separation between operational fishing activities, vehicles and pedestrian routes.
Scope of Work and Stakeholders
West Pier is a genuinely extensive multidisciplinary regeneration programme. We are working with a wide range of expertise to deliver, including:
- Architecture & Urban Design
- Heritage Conservation
- Structural Engineering
- Civil Engineering
- Coastal & Marine Engineering
- Flood Risk & Resilience
- Public Realm Design
- Building Services (M&E)
- Utilities & Infrastructure
- Accessibility & Inclusive Design
- Ecology & Environmental Management
- Commercial Development & Regeneration
The project represents a significant waterfront regeneration investment of in the region of £10m, funded through UK Government regeneration funding alongside North Yorkshire Council capital investment.
Timescales
- February 2024 – Planning and Listed Building Consent applications submitted for the original scheme.
- 2024–2026 – Design development, stakeholder engagement and revision of proposals following extensive public and stakeholder feedback.
- July 2026 – Current public consultation closes.
Delivery Approach
A phased construction programme is anticipated, with key facilities being repaired before wider renovation of existing structures to ensure continuity for harbour users and businesses. Future harbour expansion opportunities and infrastructure capacity are safeguarded within the programme.
