North Yorkshire residents have been urged to take part in what the county council describes as the area’s ‘largest programme of consultation events’ ahead of the creation of a new unitary council.

The Let’s Talk campaign will go towards identifying people’s priorities for spending on services ranging from social care and education to waste collection, recycling and highways maintenance.

The seven district councils and the North Yorkshire County Council will merge to create a unitary authority from 1 April next year in the biggest shake-up of local government in North Yorkshire for nearly 50 years.

The engagement programme will help draw up a detailed vision for the new authority.

Cllr Les, who will assume the leadership of the new North Yorkshire Council when it launches on April 1 next year, said: ‘It is vital we engage with the public to help shape exactly how the new council will operate, and this biggest ever conversation in North Yorkshire will be the way in which we can glean people’s views.

‘I would urge everyone who lives and works in North Yorkshire to take time to put forward their opinions, and we will listen carefully to those views.’

The Let’s Talk campaign will launch on Monday, September 19, and will run until Friday, December 23.
