A flagship scheme to hand extra powers to parishes following the creation of England’s largest council by area will not benefit the vast majority of the area, it has been claimed.
Opposition groups on Conservative-run North Yorkshire Council have expressed disappointment after it emerged just 11 town councils and one parish council, out of several hundred across the county, had submitted bids to manage more services in their area as part of what the authority has titled “double devolution”.
Elsewhere, Skipton and Whitby town councils look set to be told their bids to manage services such as toilets and parks need “amendments”, while separate project teams will be established to work with Ripon andSelby town councils to shape their bids due to their “ambition and complexity of the expressions of interest”.
