Following the Leader’s decision on 21
September 2021 with regard to the consultation response on the
preferred contents of the Structural Change Order, the Department
of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities have written to the eight
Councils in North Yorkshire on 3 November 2021 with a copy of a
draft SCO for comments.
A copy of the draft Order has been shared confidentially with
Members and the Leader has determined to respond to the latest
consultation with the comments attached to this Decision
Record.
The Leader considered representations submitted by some of the
Councillors and the approved responding to the consultation to
thank the Department for the contents of the Order and to make some
suggestions with regard to the names of some of the Wards. It will
be a matter for the Secretary of State to determine the actual
contents of the SCO.
