We are developing a Town Investment Plan (TIP) for Masham 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 work is supported by David Skaith, Mayor of York and North Yorkshire and receives funding from the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority.
Masham is a pretty market town arranged ornately around its lively Georgian market square. Known for its rich history, stunning landscapes, and vibrant community, Masham sits on the banks of the River Ure and serves as a gateway to the Dales. The town is home to a range of independent retailers and hospitality businesses. It hosts annual events such as the Masham Sheep Fair, celebrating its deep-rooted agricultural heritage.
Following initial engagement with residents, businesses and stakeholders, the Investment Plan is being shaped around several emerging themes:
- connectivity and transport
- economic growth and skills development
- protecting cultural heritage
