Selby East is the electoral ward covering the eastern side of the market town of Selby in North Yorkshire. It mainly comprises residential suburbs and local shopping streets within easy reach of the town centre, with the low-lying floodplain of the River Ouse and the landmark Selby Abbey defining much of the local landscape and character.
The ward has a mixed, largely commuter-based population who work locally or travel to York and Leeds, but its roots are also evident in nearby agricultural land and the legacy of the regional mining era around the Selby coalfield. Community life revolves around schools, clubs and parish events, and residents value the combination of historic streets, green spaces and riverside walks.
