What is Our Zero Selby? 

Our Zero Selby is working to reduce carbon emissions, while also addressing issues of skills, fairness, health and wellbeing. Our work is based on the ideas from residents about what they would like to see happen in Selby going forwards. The project will continue to be resident-led, and the Zero Heroes will be vital in shaping the project’s direction.
