Welcome to the website of the Better Wetherby Partnership.
In 2018, several local organisations and residents in the Wetherby area came together to form a new Partnership under the banner of Better Wetherby (BW). We are a consortium of local volunteers from a variety of organisations who contribute to initiatives designed to help make Wetherby and the surrounding villages better for the community of both current and future generations.  

A current concern is the negative impact on Wetherby and the local environment resulting from large-scale house building. ​Our aim is to ensure that all new developments respect the community-led sense of place we currently enjoy, whilst contributing positively towards the local economy, character and scale of our historic and attractive market town.  BW is not a NIMBY lobby group, it is also non-political. The organisation accepts that some new housing, particularly more ‘affordable’ and reasonably costed new properties, especially for young people, will be needed in Wetherby over the coming years. The principal aim of BW is to ensure that future house building is done in a considerate and carefully managed way so that the character of the town and environment is protected for future generations. In this respect, BW strives to ensure that future new homes are developed in a considered, responsible way, taking into account the need for measures addressing the climate emergency and protecting the environment.  

See About Us for further details
