The Hull and East Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (HEYMCA) is the proposed combined authority for the city of Hull and county of East Yorkshire, in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of England.[1] The first election for the Mayor of Hull and East Yorkshire, who will chair HEYMCA, is expected to take place in May 2025.
History
The Hull and East Yorkshire devolution deal was announced on 22 November 2023.[1] The deal proposes to devolve certain powers, i.e. housing, transport, education and skills as well as environmental matters to HEYMCA.[2][3][4] The consultation by the constituent councils received significant support in favour of the HEYMCA.[5]
In March 2024 it was decided to replace the local enterprise partnership for the combined authority's area with a Business, Growth and Skills Hub, and board member vacancies for the hub were advertised in July 2024. A decision by the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government is required to allow the creation of the combined authority to proceed,[6] followed by secondary legislation to set out its powers, duties, and governance arrangements. The two councils involved have given their approval to present the final draft order for the creation of the combined authority before Parliament, with East Yorkshire doing so in May 2024 and Hull in June.[7]
If the plans are approved, it is hoped that the combined authority would be formally established in autumn 2024.[8]
