Filey Councillor Sam Cross says the town is being adversely affected by last year's local government reorganisation.
When the old borough council was abolished in April, Filey found itself moved in to a new local government area with Malton and Thirsk.
Councillor Cross says it's making it difficult to deal with coastal issues and he's worried some tourism problems might not get sorted before the summer season arrives.
When the district and Borough councils were abolished in April and replaced with the unitary North Yorkshire Council, the council's divisions were realigned to match the parliamentary constituencies. That means that While Scarborough and Whitby remained in one local area, Filey and Hunmanby are now part of the Malton and Thirsk area.
Filey has been in the Thirsk and Malton constituency for many years for parliamentary elections despite having been in the Scarborough Borough for local government.
There is now concern among some councillors in the town that that Filey is missing out, with local politicians worried that the town's coastal needs are being overlooked as a result of the new arrangements.
