RESIDENTS in Selby should expect research phone calls from the council as part of a new study.

Selby District Council is trying to find out more about residents’ shopping habits as part of a wider study to support the future Local Plan for the authority, and what residents want from Selby, Sherburn in Elmet and Tadcaster.

The survey will be carried out by an external company called NEMS on the behalf of the council, and will continue until the middle of September, with calls being made between 10am and 8.30pm Monday to Thursday, 10am to 8pm on Fridays, 10am to 2pm Saturdays, and 11am to 4pm on Sundays.
