There's a call for Councillors elected to serve on the new unitary authority for North Yorkshire, to make sure it does actually deliver savings.
Elections will take place in May for county councillors who will then, in a years time, become the first elected members of the new authority.
The proposals for the creation of the new council said it would deliver savings of up to £67m.
Councillor Greg White says there is work to do to deliver that aim.
North Yorkshire County Council’s deputy leader Councillor Gareth Dadd told the first meeting of an executive to oversee the transition from eight councils to one that the 90 members elected in May should press the unitary authority to achieve the savings forecast during the recent debate over local government reorganisation.
The move to a single council will mark the biggest change to local government in North Yorkshire in almost 50 years, and will mean the existing county council and seven district and borough councils are scrapped.
It is linked to a devolution deal with government which said millions of pounds in funding and decision-making powers could only be devolved to North Yorkshire if a unitary system is introduced.
