A decision on proposals for Local Government reorganisation in North Yorkshire could be announced in the next few days.
Luke Hall MP, Minister of State for local government, said a decision is expected before the summer.
The House of Commons summer recess begins on 22 July.
In response to a written question from Steve Reed MP about when a decision is due on local government reorganisation proposals, Luke Hall MP answered:
“The Secretary of State expects to announce his decisions on the unitary proposals before the summer along with a summary of consultation responses.”
A consultation on two proposals to remove two-tier local government in North Yorkshire closed in April.
Under the plans there were two options – one would see a new single authority covering the North Yorkshire County Council footprint, with York remains as a separate unitary council.
This is the option favoured by City of York Council and North Yorkshire County Council.
The other option would see an east-west split in a model proposed by the six of the seven district councils.
It would remove all existing councils in North Yorkshire and York and merge them into two new unitary authorities.
