Government Robert Jenrick said he considered the single authority covering North Yorkshire met all three of the criteria the government set A SINGLE unitary authority is to be created in North Yorkshire in a move which will see the seven district and borough councils fused with the county authority, the Government has announced. The authority will be paired with City of York Council as the area moves towards devolution and an elected mayor covering both unitary council areas. The decision has been met with dismay by district and borough council leaders, who had proposed splitting the county and York on an east-west basis into two unitary councils with similar population sizes, but they said they would work with the county council to forge the best result for residents.

Mr Jenrick said the decision was a “significant step” towards ensuring the people and businesses across North Yorkshire can in future have “sustainable high-quality local services they deserve”.
He added that the decision showed the Government remains “committed to devolving power to people and places across the UK”.
“We are open to devolution where there is strong local leadership, whether supported by two tier local government, unitary structures or various joint arrangements,” he said.
The decision has divided political figures across the county.
Leader of North Yorkshire County Council, Councillor Carl Les said: “We are pleased that this has been recognised by the Government as the right thing for the future, but now we have to work together between the two tiers to make the transition as good as possible for the benefit of our residents, our businesses and the many staff that we employ as well.
