What was so special about North Yorkshire that in order to gain any devolution they were required to consolidate all the councils bar York into a huge unitary council, whereas here and next door in Cambridgeshire they're still happy to have the two tier system? York next door to Cambridgeshire?

In North Yorkshire there was very strong county leadership in favour of consolidation (suprise suprise) and from what I can tell the local Tory leaders basically caved in and agreed to it (including their Mayoral candidate leader of Rydale). Again not a local but from what I’ve read in East Anglia I understand this has not been a popular suggestion.
