Selby
Selby’s economy is integrally linked to the Leeds city region, with a significant number of the local workforce employed in Leeds, York and Wakefield. As a rural area close to these major economic hubs, the Selby district is a choice location for residents and businesses, combining proximity and accessibility to the main economic centres alongside rural and small town tranquillity.
The Leeds city region enables Selby District Council to play an important role in decisions about regional transport and employment. Selby District Council’s work as part of the Leeds city region complements the close partnership it has with North Yorkshire County Council to deliver local services and ensure the continued economic vitality of the area.
The Selby district also has the potential to offer the region the space to develop and invest in particular industries. For example, the 200 hectare Burn airfield site has outline planning permission for a science facility that could complement York’s Science City development.
