North Yorkshire Council has announced a £500k scheme to refurbish the 'gateway' to Tadcaster - its bus station - in what they say will encourage more visitors to come and support local businesses.
North Yorkshire Council’s executive member for open for business, Cllr Mark Crane, said: "The bus station and the surrounding area needs a complete refresh to be a welcoming place for our visitors and residents. It will further compliment the works previously undertaken by the former Selby District Council a few years ago.
We hope that will then lead to more footfall in the town centre and bring a welcome boost for the shops and local businesses."
Included in the scheme is the renovation of the 'Tadkebab' fast food building and a clean-up of the surrounding area.
Cllr Kirsty Poskitt, who represents the Tadcaster division on North Yorkshire Council, added: "The bus station improvements are long overdue and very welcome. This area of the town is well used and the entryway for many people to Tadcaster.
