A final decision on proposals for Local Government reorganisation in North Yorkshire is set to be announced in the next 12 days. It could see the end of District Councils in Selby, Ryedale and Hambleton as well as changes in York.

Luke Hall MP, Minister of State for local government, said a decision is expected before the summer. The House of Commons summer recess begins on 22 July.

In response to a written question from Steve Reed MP about when a decision is due on local government reorganisation proposals, Luke Hall MP answered: “The Secretary of State expects to announce his decisions on the unitary proposals before the summer along with a summary of consultation responses.”

A consultation on two proposals to remove two-tier local government in North Yorkshire closed in April.

Under the plans there were two options – one would see a new single authority covering the North Yorkshire County Council footprint, with York remains as a separate unitary council.

This is the option favoured by City of York Council and North Yorkshire County Council.

The other option would see an east-west split in a model proposed by the six of the seven district councils.

It would remove all existing councils in North Yorkshire and York and merge them into two new unitary authorities.
