The County Council has established seven area committees, each of which deals with County Council business within the area of one of the District Councils in the County: Craven, Hambleton, Harrogate, Richmondshire, Ryedale, Scarborough and Selby.
These area committees comprise the County Councillors for each of the electoral divisions in the district, together with representatives of the District Councils, Parish Councils and other local bodies, who are co-opted onto the committees. The committees meet, every three months or more frequently, at venues in their areas. They have responsibilities for promoting key local strategies and over-viewing the effectiveness of public services in their areas; for a range of highways and rights of way matters; and for making grants to local bodies.
