Council & Democracy

Harrogate Borough Council is run by democratically-elected councillors. The Council is responsible for making decisions on behalf of the local community about local services, such as land use, refuse collection, housing  and leisure facilities. The Council is also responsible for the conduct of all Local, General and European elections and referendums. Further information about election arrangements can be found here.

In most of the country there are two tiers of local government: county councils and district councils. Harrogate Borough Council works closely with North Yorkshire County Council (NYCC) who manage key services including education and learning, local libraries and archives, roads and transport, environmental services, and consumer and business services.
