In episode seven of In Conversation With, we speak to the leader of the council, Councillor Steve Siddons about the idea of community networks across North Yorkshire as proposed by the people setting up the new unitary council, whether current industrial action is justified and should senior public servants be paid off. We also talk all things Christmas and find out what the leader’s favourite festive tune is. If you’d like to ask Steve a question in the January edition of the podcast, please send an email to [email protected] and we’ll make sure it is included.
