We are developing a Town Investment Plan (TIP) for Sherburn in Elmet 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.
Sherburn in Elmet has recently seen a significant increase in housing development, leading to a rise in population. It is expected that this growth will continue.
It is a major employment hub with strategic logistics and industrial sites, currently providing employment for over 3,000 people. The town benefits from two railway stations, offering good links to Leeds, York, Selby, Sheffield and Hull; however, there is a need for improved bus services and connectivity to support access to jobs, services, education, and recreation, especially for those without access to a car.
The town has a varied retail offer, including supermarkets and independent shops, but maintaining a vibrant high street is a continuing challenge. Social and community infrastructure has struggled to keep pace with recent development.
Have your say
To make sure each investment plan reflects local priorities we are inviting residents, business owners and visitors to share their views on their local town and how you think it could be improved.
