North Yorkshire Council to develop Town Development Plan for Skipton

Skipton High Street.

Residents, businesses and visitors in Skipton are being invited to share their views on future investment plans for the town.

A Town Investment Plan is being developed as part of a wider regeneration programme across 32 towns in the county. 

The plan is intended to help guide future funding bids by focusing on local priorities.

The work is supported by David Skaith and funded through the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority.

The local economy includes sectors such as finance, pharmaceuticals and tourism. 

However, the plan identifies a number of challenges, including limited land for business development, ageing infrastructure in the town centre, an ageing population and issues linked to health and deprivation.

As part of the consultation process, people are being encouraged to provide feedback on what improvements they would like to see. 

Paper copies of the survey are available at Skipton Library.

The consultation is due to close on 20th March, after which responses will be reviewed and used to help shape the draft Town Investment Plan.
