Better Wetherby Newsletter – October 2025
Here’s a concise summary of the October 2025 Better Wetherby newsletter.
PLANNING LATEST:
Transport: WYCA’s Local Transport Plan consultation closes 21st October 2025. BW urges better bus services—current provision is inadequate for Wetherby’s needs.
Leeds Local Plan: Consultation on future housing and development has ended. BW submitted detailed feedback, highlighting Wetherby’s already high growth.
Stockeld Park/Spofforth Hill: Application for 210 houses still pending. Large number of objections; decision now with the planning committee.
WHY IT MATTERS:
Wetherby’s growth and infrastructure are at a crossroads. Resident input is crucial.
COMMUNITY EVENTS:
Eco Energy Fair: 8th November 2025 at St. James’ Church Centre, offering free advice on energy savings.
Christmas Lights: Volunteers are prepping festive displays. More helpers needed - contact Colin Bradley if you can lend a hand.
ALSO WORTH KNOWING:
Parking Charges: New fees introduced at Wilderness and Old Station car parks from 6th October 2025, despite strong opposition. Take care to avoid fines.
