News on Let's Talk North Yorkshire

On 1 April 2023, the new North Yorkshire Council will replace the eight councils currently delivering public services across the county. The new council will deliver services including adult social care, housing, waste collection, transport, planning, community safety, children’s services, education, leisure and many more.

The scale of the new council’s operations will see it serve the greatest geographical area of any local authority in the country, and it will have an overall spend of about £1.4 billion, including £343 million on schools.

Today we’ve launched the next stage of North Yorkshire’s biggest ever countywide conversation, Let’s Talk North Yorkshire, asking for your views to help shape the council’s budget. We want to know which services you feel are most important, what you think about council tax, and hear your ideas for savings.
