Mayor David Skaith and the Deputy Mayor are spending July engaging with the public on the issue of road safety, and both are today meeting with the York and North Yorkshire Road Safety Partnership at this year’s Great Yorkshire Show.
Deputy Mayor Jo Coles has already met with dozens of local Parish Councils through dedicated Road Safety Advice Surgeries to hear their concerns on road safety issues.
Questions relating to road safety are encouraged, but those relating to any area of police and crime are welcome and should be submitted using the online form on our website: https://www.northyorkshire-pfcc.gov.uk/YourVoice/

Jo Coles, Deputy Mayor for Policing, Fire and Crime says: "Online Public Meetings are invaluable in ensuring the Police and Fire Services are held to account in an open and transparent way. "Road Safety Month is an opportunity for the Mayor David Skaith and I to hear from stakeholders and the public about how we can increase safety on our roads for all road users because one death on our roads is one death too many. Anyone with questions or concerns can submit them via the link or tune in to watch the meeting online. I will continue to do everything I can to keep everyone in our region safe." https://www.northyorkshire-pfcc.gov.uk/.../opm15july2025/...

published on 5th Feb 2025
Residents can now pay for their licence for the 2025 garden waste season.
A licence costs £49 for collections between March and early December. This provides a cost-effective way for residents to dispose of garden waste.
The licence covers one 240-litre wheelie bin to be emptied fortnightly. Anyone who wishes to have more than one bin emptied will need to pay for a licence for each additional bin. Residents can also pay for a licence at any time throughout the season but are encouraged to do so before the start of the service in March as the cost will remain the same.
Once paid, a licence pack should arrive within 14 days.

North Yorkshire Local Plan - Call for Sites
published on 31st Jan 2025
Update from NYC on the Local Plan:
We wanted to point you in the direction of the dedicated Call for Sites webpage, which gives further information to the process and introduces a ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ section. This should provide you with answers to specific questions that are likely to be raised. We propose to update the FAQs if we receive further queries over the coming weeks.
The webpage also contains a link to the mapping website whereby the site submissions can be viewed. This will now allow us to update the map when additional sites are added, or if any are withdrawn without having to send updated links to you on each occasion. This should reduce the amount of correspondence that the Local Plan team will need to send to you.
