Group to deliver key rural schemes
The Hambleton and Richmondshire Strategic Forum replaces the Local Strategic Partnerships (LSP) for both districts, but will still deliver community-based projects.
Led by chairman Rosemary Taylor, it brings together a wide range of organisations and groups in the area, covering the public, private, voluntary and community sectors.

Mrs Taylor said: “This is a very exciting new forum. It will be a new way of working but one that will be more efficient and increase the emphasis on the delivery of local schemes in our communities. In challenging financial times people and organisations need to work together creatively to find a sustainable solution.”
Hambleton District and North Yorkshire County Councillor Carl Les has been appointed vice chairman.
