We are developing a Town Investment Plan (TIP) for Hawes as part of a regeneration programme across 32 towns in the county. The plans will help guide future funding bids by ensuring they are targeted to local priorities.
This project is supported by David Skaith, Major of York and North Yorkshire and part-funded by York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority.
Hawes is a small market town, in Upper Wensleydale, famous for its cheese and breath taking scenery. It has a range of independent retailers and hospitality businesses, as well as being the home to Wensleydale Creamery and the Dales Countryside Museum. Emerging themes so far include:
- retention of young people and families
- parking and transport
- economic growth
- marketing and tourism
- community facilities
Have your say
To make sure the investment plan reflects local priorities we invited residents, business owners and visitors to share their views on their local town and how you thought it could be improved.
The survey for Hawes is now closed. The feedback received is now being reviewed and analysed to inform the draft investment plan.
