- Update on progress with Single Unitary Council for North Yorkshire April 2023
Sec reported that all information on progress of the move towards the single unitary council for all of North Yorkshire (except City of York) in April 2023 had been dispatched via the Farlington Alerts system. A series of open forums had been organised in the various market towns for residents to raise any concerns or queries with officials. Sec would continue to disseminate information as it came through from County.
- New Farlington Alerts System
Sec reported that the current Farlington email alert system would be changing in the coming months as Jason Brown, who manages the website and hosting, will no longer be able to offer this free of charge due to his retirement.
