About

Selby East ward covers the eastern portion of the town of Selby, positioned on the tidal River Ouse. The area includes residential neighbourhoods, local shopping streets, and industrial estates to the south. The landscape is largely flat, characteristic of the Vale of York, with the river forming a central feature for both navigation and local geography.

A defining element is the presence of Selby Abbey, a major medieval church founded in 1069, which anchors the town's historic core. The ward's layout reflects its development from a market town and inland port. Land use is mixed, combining housing with light industry and areas of open recreational space along the riverbanks.
