Kirkbymoorside

 Kirkbymoorside thrives because its inhabitants enjoy the life it lets them lead, here and now in the 21st Century, and our commitment is not to looking back and pining for some imaginary golden age, not to stopping the clocks, but to moving Kirkbymoorside forward, with courage and creativity put into its development, convinced that its humane virtues are priceless, and that they can remain intact.

Imagine Ryedale is the first community plan for Ryedale. It was developed for and by the Ryedale Strategic Partnership, which brings together a range of key partner groups and organisations. The Imagine Ryedale Vision highlights six key themes:

• Vibrant Communities
• Strong, Safe Communities
• Access and Communication
• Health and Wellbeing
• Landscape and Environment
• Developing Opportunities

Kirkbymoorside has gone one step further than this and is now a Transition Town. This has been led by KMEG and is forming key energy strategies and sustainability methods for the town into the future.
