North Yorkshire Council is a future unitary local authority in England covering most of the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire. Following Parliamentary approval, the new council will be established on 1 April 2023 to administer the area currently administered by North Yorkshire County Council and the district councils of Craven, Hambleton, Harrogate, Richmondshire, Ryedale, Scarborough and Selby.^[1]

History[]

In October 2020 the Government invited the councils in the administrative area of North Yorkshire County Council and the unitary City of York Council to submit proposals for reorganisation into unitary local authorities. The county council proposed a single unitary council for its entire administrative area and no change to York. The district councils (except Hambleton) jointly proposed an eastern council combining the areas of Ryedale, Scarborough, Selby and York, and a western council including Craven, Hambleton, Harrogate and Richmondshire.

Following a public consultation, in July 2021 the Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick announced that the county council's proposal would be taken forward and the first elections for the new unitary authority would be held in May 2022.^[2]^[3] The councillors elected then will serve one year as county councillors for the existing North Yorkshire County Council and then will continue on for another four years as councillors for the new unitary authority when it begins in April 2023.^[4]

Combined authority[]

North Yorkshire County Council and the City of York Council have proposed that the new unitary authority will create a combined authority with the City of York Council. Elections for a mayor for the combined authority would take place in May 2023.^[5]
