The Secretary of State is currently considering two proposals for local government reorganisation. One would see York council remain as it is, this is the option favoured by the local authority. The other would see it merged with Scarborough, Selby and Ryedale councils. Cllr Jonny Crawshaw said at a meeting that the independent public interest report has handed all the ammunition that anybody who wants to dissolve us needs. It s all there laid out in that report . Independent Cllr Mark Warters said the report has led to “huge reputational damage for the council during a time of local government reorganisation that may well be the final straw for York as a standalone local authority”.
Volunteers at the Collective Sharehouse - which has handed out 1,000 packages of food and supplies since it opened in December A COMMUNITY group which set up a sharehouse where people can drop off or collect food and other essential items says it has been helping around 50 families a week. Volunteers opened The Collective Sharehouse in December 2020 in response to footballer Marcus Rashford s campaign against food poverty and the effects of the pandemic. The volunteers, linked to Scarcroft Primary School, accept donations had distribute food and items such as toiletries and nappies.

Cllr Ashley Mason and West Offices, City of York Council headquarters COUNCIL staff may continue working from home after the pandemic - and the local authority will look at whether some meetings can still be held remotely. City of York Council has already earmarked an extra £350,000 income from renting out space in its headquarters at West Offices. It means other organisations might rent out offices previously used by council staff. Council meetings, including public meetings such as planning decisions, currently take place by webcast. But this is only allowed under temporary Government guidance, which expires at the start of May.
