Castleford Business Responsibility Zone Scheme
The Business Responsibility Zone is a simple, practical way for local businesses to take pride in the area right outside their doors and help create a cleaner, greener, more welcoming Castleford.
By signing up, businesses commit to light-touch actions like keeping their frontage tidy, reporting issues quickly, and adding small touches that boost the look and feel of the town centre.
It’s an easy, visible way to show community spirit, strengthen your connection with customers, and play a part in making Castleford a place we can all be proud of.
Participating businesses will be encouraged to undertake:
Litter picking and basic cleansing.
Weeding and tidying of adjacent pavements and planters.
Planting and watering of flowers and shrubs.
Painting and cosmetic improvements to street furniture and shop frontages.
Snow clearance and gritting (in partnership with council schemes).
Initial partners include:
Wakefield Council
Castleford Civic Society
Carlton Lanes Shopping Centre
Castleford Town Centre Review Group
