Work on a £29 million regeneration scheme around Selby railway station is set to start in October. The Selby Station Gateway project targets improved transport access and economic development in the area.
The programme involves the demolition of vacant buildings near the station, including the former railway social club and empty business units. New infrastructure will include additional parking, a station entrance on Cowie Drive, and upgraded walking and cycling routes along Station Road and Ousegate. Plans also include a Station Plaza to connect the railway station with Selby Park.
Galliford Try, a contractor with experience in civil engineering and highways projects, has been appointed to deliver the works. The scheme will be implemented in phases, with completion expected by autumn 2028.
The project is part of a wider transport initiative funded through the Department for Transport’s Transforming Cities Fund, which has allocated £38 million for projects across Harrogate, Selby, and Skipton. Funding and oversight involve the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, with additional support from the York & North Yorkshire Combined Authority.
