| Earlier this month, government announced that local councils in North Yorkshire will be reorganised. The new reorganisation will form one council across the whole of the county, leaving York as a separate unitary council. North Yorkshire County Council and the district and borough councils of Craven, Hambleton, Harrogate, Richmondshire, Ryedale, Scarborough and Selby will continue to operate until March 2023. After this, they will cease to exist and the new unitary authority will come into operation. The existing Harrogate Borough Council will now work collectively with North Yorkshire County Council and the six district local authorities to implement the transition plan. Despite this outcome, Harrogate Borough Council says it remains committed to delivering a number of investment projects. |
