There are concerns that the delivery of cultural activities in the Scarborough Borough could get overlooked when the borough council disappears next month.
A countywide cultural strategy will be managed by the new North Yorkshire Council which takes over from the existing county, district and borough councils on April 1st.
Filey county councillor Sam Cross has been highlighting the issue.
County Council officers have offered reassurance, saying there will be mechanism to deliver cultural activity in the Scarborough Borough under the new North Yorkshire Council.
The new authority will have a county wide cultural strategy but senior policy officer Mark Kibblewhite says there will be local elements to the strategy.
A Cultural Framework for North Yorkshire has been developed by a partnership working group comprising the District Councils and North Yorkshire County Council, with support from Arts Council England and Cultural Stakeholders in the County.
The framework outlines its role as being
"a catalyst for the beginning of an ongoing cultural conversation in North Yorkshire in order to develop leadership and networks, priorities for engagement and investment and better integration of cultural activity in the core statutory functions of local government to improve the prosperity and wellbeing of individuals and communities.
The Cultural Framework forms the basis for a new North Yorkshire Council to develop its strategic aspirations for culture and the role culture can play in supporting prosperity and wellbeing in North Yorkshire. "
