The City of York is a unitary area with city status in North Yorkshire, England. The district's main settlement is York but also covers a far wider area which includes the town of Haxby and the villages of Earswick, Nether Poppleton, Copmanthorpe, Bishopthorpe, Dunnington, Stockton on the Forest, Rufforth, Askham Bryan and Askham Richard among other villages and hamlets. The unitary area had a population of 202,800 in the 2021 Census

For detailed history on local government in the City of York, see City of York Council.

York Guildhall is the seat of local government

The City of York is governed by the City of York Council. It is a unitary authority that operates on a leader and cabinet style of governance, having the powers of a non-metropolitan county and district council combined. It provides a full range of local government services including Council Tax billing, libraries, social services, processing planning applications, waste collection and disposal, and it is a local education authority. The city council consists of 47 councillors representing 21 wards, with one, two or three per ward serving four-year terms. Its headquarters are at the Guildhall and West Offices in the city centre.

York is divided into 21 administrative wards: Acomb, Bishopthorpe, Clifton, Copmanthorpe, Dringhouses and Woodthorpe, Fishergate, Fulford and Heslington, Guildhall, Haxby and Wigginton, Heworth, Heworth Without, Holgate, Hull Road, Huntington and New Earswick, Micklegate, Osbaldwick and Derwent, Rawcliffe and Clifton Without, Rural West York, Strensall, Westfield, and Wheldrake.

The members of the cabinet, led by the Council Leader, makes decisions on their portfolio areas individually. Following the Local Government Act 2000, the Council Leader commands the confidence of the city council; the leader of the largest political group and head of the City of York Council. The Leader of the council and the cabinet (consisting of all the executive councillors) are collectively accountable for their policies and actions to the city council. The current Council Leader, Liberal Democrats' Cllr Keith Aspden, was appointed on 22 May 2019, following the 2019 City of York Council election.

The Mansion House is home to the Lord Mayor of York

York's first citizen and civic head is the Lord Mayor, who is the chairman of the City of York Council. The appointment is made by the city council each year in May, at the same time appointing the Sheriff, the city's other civic head. The offices of Lord Mayor and Sheriff are purely ceremonial. The Lord Mayor carries out civic and ceremonial duties in addition to chairing full council meetings. The incumbent Lord Mayor since 26 May 2022 is Councillor David Carr, and the Sheriff is Suzie Mercer.

York Youth Council consists of several young people who negotiate with the councillors to get better facilities for York's young people, and who also elect York's Member of Youth Parliament.

As a result of the 2019 City of York Council election the Conservative Party was reduced to two seats. The Liberal Democrats had 21 councillors. The Labour Party had 17 councillors and the Green Party had four with three Independents. Due to no overall control, the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party agreed to form a coalition on 14 May 2019.

York is the traditional county town of Yorkshire, and therefore did not form part of any of its three historic ridings, or divisions. Its Mayor has had the status of Lord Mayor since 1370. York is an ancient borough, and was reformed by the Municipal Corporations Act 1835 to form a municipal borough. It gained the status of a county borough in 1889, under the Local Government Act 1888, and existed so until 1974, when, under the Local Government Act 1972, it became a non-metropolitan district in the county of North Yorkshire, whilst retaining its Lord Mayor, its Sheriff and Aldermen. As a result of 1990s UK local government reform, York regained unitary status and saw a substantial alteration in its borders, taking in parts of Selby and Harrogate districts, and about half the population of the Ryedale district. The new boundary was imposed after central government rejected the former city council's own proposal.

Parliament

Rachael Maskell (L), Member of Parliament (MP)
for York Central since 2015

Julian Sturdy (C), MP
for York Outer since 2010

From 1997 to 2010, the central part of the district was covered by the City of York constituency, while the remainder was split between the constituencies of Ryedale, Selby, and Vale of York. These constituencies were represented by Hugh Bayley, John Greenway, John Grogan, and Anne McIntosh respectively.

Following their review in 2003 of parliamentary representation in North Yorkshire, the Boundary Commission for England recommended the creation of two new seats for the City of York, in time for the general election in 2010. These are York Central, which covers the inner urban area, and is entirely surrounded by the York Outer constituency.

Ceremonial

York is within the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire and, until 1974, was within the jurisdiction of the Lord Lieutenant of the County of York, West Riding and the County of The City of York. The city does retain the right to appoint its own Sheriff. The holder of the Royal dukedom of York has no responsibilities either ceremonially or administratively as regards to the city.

History

The unitary authority was established after Humberside was abolished and covers a majority of the historic East Riding of Yorkshire (except for Filey which is now under North Yorkshire and Hull which is a separate unitary authority). The unitary authority has full control of all the local services and decision-making on housing, employment, commercial and other services for the East Riding of Yorkshire. The unitary authority has 172 civil parishes.

Geography

The unitary authority is landlocked by the counties of North Yorkshire and South Yorkshire to the north, northwest, west, and southwest. The county of Lincolnshire is directly south and southeast over the River Humber bordering the unitary authorities of North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire (Which can only be reached via the Humber Bridge or A180 Road. It is directly south over the Humber.). The largest towns and villages in the district are Beverley, Cottingham, Hessle, Bridlington, Goole and Driffield. The city of Hull is directly in the south-southeast part of the county and as mentioned is not under the district but is under the ceremonial county.

Demographics

The population of the unitary authority (Not including Hull) was taken at a mid-2019 estimate was 341,173. Of which, 98% were white and 2% were ethnic minorities. The religious composition of the unitary authority was 68% Christians, 1.2% were of other religions and the remaining 29.8% were of no religion or did not state their religion.

History

The district was formed from the former districts of Boothferry (Except for the Isle of Axholme and parts which form the modern-day North Lincolnshire in Lincolnshire), the Borough of Beverley, East Yorkshire and Holderness from the former Humberside county in 1996. The district is quite unique in that it covers both the county (minus Hull) but also uses the exact same name of the county.

Geography

The district is bounded by North Yorkshire to the north, northwest and west. It borders the North Yorkshire districts of Ryedale, Selby, Scarborough, and York. It also borders the county of South Yorkshire at the point of the Dutch River near Goole and borders the Borough of Doncaster at the town of Thorne. The district also borders the city of Hull in the southeastern extreme of the county of East Riding of Yorkshire with the towns of Beverley, Hedon and Hessle as well as the outlying villages of Cottingham, Kirk Ella, North Ferriby, Swanland and Wawne forming urban area extensions of the city.
