Read our April 2026 edition of Your North Yorkshire.

In this new edition of Your North Yorkshire, we look at how our Healthy You programme is transforming lives and there is the chance to sign your children up to our popular programme of holiday activities. Our leader also warns about a multi-million pound cut to our highways budget. There's an archives feature on farming over the years and a competition to win tickets to see music stars in Scarborough.
