North Yorkshire Council is 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, build communities and ensure funding is targeted to local priorities.
Supported by David Skaith, Mayor of York and North Yorkshire, receiving funding from York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority.
Sherburn in Elmet has recently seen a significant increase in housing development leading to a rise 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.
