Residents, business owners and tourists are being asked for their views on a Yorkshire Dales town.

North Yorkshire Council is seeking opinions to help it develop a town investment plan for Hawes.

The council is keen to hear what people love about living in or visiting the town, what could make it an even better place to live, work and explore, and how they see the town evolving over the next five to ten years.

A series of engagement events will be held later this month to give people the chance to share their views.

A public drop-in will take place at Market House, Hawes, on Tuesday, September 24 from 3.30pm to 5pm, followed by a business drop-in from 6pm to 7.30pm at the same venue.

People can also complete the consultation online at northyorks.gov.uk/consultations

Paper copies of the survey are available from Hawes Community Office and Library and The Neukin, Market Place, Hawes.

The authority is creating the plans for 32 towns and key service centres to guide regeneration and investment over the next three years.
The project is funded by a £1.2m grant from the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority.
