The Town Council is responsible for:
Selby Town Council’s consultation on the Council’s 10 year Business Plan
The results of the consultation will guide the Town Council when determining the Council’s Draft Business Plan.
Following two consultations a Draft Business Plan has been formulated taking the views of the community into account. The draft Business Plan will be presented to Council at the September meeting for consideration and approval. Once approved the Business Plan will be a “live” document and will be evaluated and adjusted every year as required.
