  BEVERLEY TOWN PLAN

 

Beverley Town Council, Molescroft & Woodmansey Parish Councils together with ERYC have been working towards the preparation of a Town Plan for the last 18 months.  The aim of preparing a Town Plan is to provide a mechanism by which the town (Local Authorities, Business Sector, Community Groups and the general public) are able to influence the future development of Beverley as a principle town within the East Riding of Yorkshire.
