North Yorkshire Council has started a six-month upgrade of Low Street in Sherburn-in-Elmet, aiming to improve infrastructure and support local businesses. The £800,000 project, funded in part by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, includes resurfacing damaged pavements, adding parking bays, installing benches, updating signage, and creating a new town centre map.
The upgrades are designed to make the area more attractive and functional for businesses, residents, and visitors. Work will be carried out in phases to minimise disruption, focusing on the stretch between The Swan pub and C & G Starkey Family Butchers.
The initiative has support from Sherburn-in-Elmet Town Council and local business owners, who see it as a way to enhance the town’s appeal and economic viability. The project was designed by Align Property Partners, a consultancy working with North Yorkshire Council.
