North Yorkshire Council
North Yorkshire Council is the unitary authority which governs the county of North Yorkshire (legally known as the County of North Yorkshire). North Yorkshire was a two-tier non-metropolitan county from 1974 to 2023. Prior to this North Yorkshire Council was a County Council called North Yorkshire County Council. During this time Burton Leonard fell within the district of Harrogate Borough Council. However, on 1 April 2023 the seven lower-tier districts (including Harrogate BC) were abolished and their functions taken over by the new unitary authority (North Yorkshire Council).
The North Yorkshire Council's headquarters is County Hall in Northallerton, which is the County Town.
