The BBC has reported that two North Yorkshire councils are to stop sharing services.

The site states the North Yorkshire councils are to end the sharing of some services after saying the arrangement was not working.

"Hambleton and Richmondshire district councils were among the first in the country to pool resources, setting up the scheme in 2009. Te councils share a chief executive and senior managers, as well as having a combined waste collection service.They said combined savings for both were more than £1m a year."
