Councillors are urging more diversity when elections take place for the county's new combined authority next year.
Careful thought needs to be given to the make-up of North Yorkshire's new unitary authority when it comes in to being in 2023.
That's according to some local Councillors who are calling for the political parties to ensure they put forward a diverse set of candidates when the first elections for the new authority take place next year.
Councillor Andy Solloway backs the plan:
The county council and borough council will be replaced by a new organisation in 2023.
Borough Councillor Michelle Donahue Moncrieff agrees more diversity is needed:
