Selby District Council

The Selby District is at the heart of Yorkshire. A great place for business We're seeing some big investments. Our businesses benefit from great road and rail connections across the UK. There's significant new business space being built in the district and it's more affordable than our big city neighbours. We've also got a proven entrepreneurial spirit. A great place for opportunity We've got a really well-qualified workforce. Highly skilled employees give companies more options when recruiting. We're forecast the biggest population growth in North Yorkshire, which means a growing local workforce and more customers on your doorstep. People living in the Selby District also have more disposable income compared to neighbouring areas. A great place for home We've got a high quality lifestyle. Home buyers get more for their money in our market towns and picturesque villages. We're one of the safest areas in one of the safest counties in England. We're home to a leading further education college, our primary schools perform well and we've got a great independent school sector.
