Scarborough could permanently remove all Savile tributes
Scarborough Council is expected to vote today on whether to permanently remove memorial plaques and street signs that were created in memory of Jimmy Savile.

Councillors in Scarborough will move to remove Jimmy Savile from the seaside town's honour board, stripping him of the freedom of the borough he was awarded in 2005.
A motion to posthumously remove Savile's name until the Metropolitan Police concludes its probes will be considered at a full council meeting next Monday.
Scarborough Borough Council will then decide whether to permanently wipe his honorary link to the Yorkshire town, where he owned a second home and was buried overlooking the sea.
The council also plans to remove street signs and a memorial plaque that celebrated the late presenter's links to the town, and his headstone, which was recently removed and broken up at the family's request.
