North Yorkshire's county and district councils ceased to exist at midnight, replaced by a new body.
Eight councils merged to become one unitary authority covering almost all of North Yorkshire from Saturday.
It replaces the two-tier system of county and district councils, excluding City of York, which has been in place since 1974.They served one year on the outgoing county council and will serve a four-year term on the new authority. Richard Flinton, the new council's chief executive, said: "This is a huge change and quite a momentous occasion for local government in the area.""We still get the bins collected, people still get access to leisure centres and all those key services keep happening for the residents."This morning eight North Yorkshire councils blinked out of existence.
The winding road logo used by Craven District Council - gone. The ship and castle of Scarborough Borough Council's motif - binned.
