Man and Van Selby — Local Moves and Deliveries, 15 Minutes from Our Base
Selby is one of the closest towns to CL Clearances' Howden base — fifteen minutes along the A63 — so it is one of the few places where the local hourly rate applies rather than a fixed travel price. Small moves in Selby, Brayton, Barlby, Osgodby and Thorpe Willoughby, the villages along the Ouse from Hemingbrough and Cliffe to Cawood and Riccall, and out to Sherburn in Elmet and Tadcaster. Charlotte drives a tail-lift Luton, lifts with you, and charges by the hour or fixed — whichever is cheaper.

Working in Selby — the town, the villages and the river
Selby's older streets around the Abbey, Gowthorpe and the riverside are narrow, with short-stay bays and some one-way loops; the toll-bridge end of town and Ousegate can be slow on a Saturday. Most of the town's housing, though, is straightforward for a van — the Victorian terraces off Brook Street and Flaxley Road have on-street parking that a Luton fits into, and Brayton, Barlby and the newer estates have drives.
The villages along the river — Hemingbrough, Cliffe, Barlby, Cawood, Riccall — are a short run from Howden, and moves between them and Selby or York are common. Sherburn in Elmet and Tadcaster on the western edge of the district are twenty-five minutes; they are quoted at a fixed price rather than the local hourly rate.
One local note: the A19 through Barlby and the Selby bypass carry a lot of traffic at school times and Friday afternoons, so a mid-morning start usually gets more done in the same hours.
