Knaresborough residents urged to have say on future of council services
There are just two weeks left for Knaresborough residents to have their say on how the town should be run under major changes coming to council services.
Knaresborough Town Council has received hundreds of responses to a survey launched in December but is now urging more people to share their views on local government reorganisation which could see the town given greater control over services such as parking and markets.
The survey will run until January 27 and comes as the reorganisation plans are fast-approaching with Harrogate Borough Council and North Yorkshire County Council set to be replaced by a new county-wide authority from April 2023.
A Knaresborough Town Council spokesperson said:
The running of parks and gardens, play areas and public buildings including Knaresborough House and Conyngham Hall could also be handed over to the town council under the reorganisation plans.

Knaresborough Cllr David Goode previously said it was “vital” that people take part in the survey which he believes will build a strong case for the town’s future.
He said:
