Litter

On 1 April the single new council for North Yorkshire launched replacing Scarborough Borough Council and other local authorites in North Yorkshire.

To find your Councillor or to view minutes, meetings and agendas please visit the North Yorkshire Council website.

We operate 7 days a week, 364 days a year and employ more than 80 staff. We are responsible for ensuring that roads and public places within the borough are kept as clean as possible.
