Town
Council
There
are twelve town councillors who work together to promote the best
interests of the town and parish. The Council liaises with the other
Ryedale town councils and Renaissance Market Towns
about common interests and with both Ryedale District Council and North Yorkshire County
Council on strategic issues. The
Council uses the Pickering
Beacon and the Annual Report to keep
in touch with residents, and local meetings and the Discussion Forum to find out
about residents' views. Its office is housed in the Memorial Hall, Pickering's
community hall.

Local
Interest
The range of activities and organisations in
the town is an important reason for its thriving
atmosphere. The quarterly community newsletter, the Pickering Beacon,
distributed free of charge to all residents, keeps them informed about
issues, events and services. The Town Guide, a Plus
Publishing Services publication in partnership with the Town Council,
distributed to every household and tourist enterprise in the parish,
provides local information too. The main heritage attractions are the castle, the churches and the North York Moors
Railway. The town participates in the National Civic Trust's celebration
of local heritage.

The Council is linked with Corbie near Amiens and
Albert in the Somme district of Northern France. The link was formed
in 1987. The Council is exploring how the link might be developed for the
benefit of our communities.
