Funding Haxby improvement schemes
In August 2025 the council received £200,000 from the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority’s (YNYCA) Mayoral Investment Fund to work with businesses, community and visitors to develop a 'bottom up' action plan for Yorks secondary shopping centres, Haxby and Acomb. Approximately £80,000 was allocated to initial improvements in Haxby - this must be delivered by December 2027. In addition to the YNYCA funding, a further £80,000 has been secured from the Local Transport Grant for potential improvements to Active Travel by enhancing cycle routes in Haxby.
