North Yorkshire County Council - Transport map of shire county divided into districts

The Department for Communities and Local Government did consider reorganising North Yorkshire County Council's administrative structure by abolishing the seven district councils and the county council to create a North Yorkshire unitary authority. The changes were planned to be implemented no later than 1 April 2009. North Yorkshire County Council - New Council for North Yorkshire Communities and Local Government - Proposals for future unitary structures: Stakeholder consultation This was rejected on 25 July 2007 so the County Council and District Council structure will remain. Decision letter: North Yorkshire County Council

York, Middlesbrough (borough) and Redcar and Cleveland are unitary authority boroughs which form part of the ceremonial county for various functions such as the Lord Lieutenant of North Yorkshire, but do not come under county council control.
