Details
This historic deal marks a new devolution agreement between the government, Kingston Upon Hull City Council and East Riding of Yorkshire Council. This agreement will see the creation of the Hull & East Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (MCA), alongside a directly elected mayor for the area. The first mayoral election is planned for May 2025.
The devolution deal transfers new powers and funding to the Hull & East Yorkshire MCA, alongside a £400 million long-term investment fund to drive economic growth and take forward local priorities. Alongside this, the deal also includes over £4.6 million of investment in brownfield funding, devolution of the Adult Education Budget, and up to £20 million of capital funding in advance of the inaugural election to drive place-based economic regeneration in Hull and East Yorkshire (subject to business cases).
This agreement is subject to ratification by those councils, and to the statutory requirements for making the secondary legislation implementing the provisions of the deal. These statutory requirements include those councils consenting to the legislation and Parliament approving it. Once that legislation is made the devolution deal will be confirmed.
