Annual Report
As a business, Ryedale District Council is a significant employer locally with around 280 full and part-time staff. It is important that what we do, we do well.

In the Annual Report you will find information that explains what we do and how and where we are improving. You will also be able to see how the Council is continuing with the process of modernising its services in order to ensure that they are what the community wants and that they are delivered at a price that the community is willing to pay.

The Annual Report is available in other formats. Please contact the Transformation team; telephone 01653 600666 ext 298 or email performanceofficer@ryedale.gov.uk.

Constitution of the Council
At its meeting on 1 November 2001, Ryedale District Council agreed a new constitution which sets out how the Council operates, how decisions are made, and the procedures which are followed to ensure that these are efficient, transparent and accountable to local people. Some of these processes are required by law, while others are a matter for the Council to choose.
 
The Constitution is divided into 15 Articles which set out the basic rules governing the Council’s business.
