PEOPLE are being asked for their views about how to develop local services .
The Government wants to see all the organisations that serve communities working together and prepare community strategies, which must recognise that even very local services are provided by many different organisations.
The county's executive member with responsibility for community planning, Councillor Shelagh Marshall, said: "So that we can prepare our community plans we need Local Strategy Partnerships to provide an open, unbiased and accessible forum where all service providers can speak with equal voices, to explore and negotiate new ways of working together to achieve community aims.
Plans for setting up a North Yorkshire Strategic Partnership are contained in a consultation booklet being distributed to voluntary groups, town and parish councils, and health groups.
Views about the plans must be received by June 30. For details call (01609) 532662.
