Hull and East Yorkshire Devolution proposal to be submitted to Secretary of State
Hull and East Riding Unitary Leaders Board has today approved the submission of Hull and East Yorkshire's Devolution Proposal to the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.
Over 5,800 people shared their views and feedback on the proposals during an eight-week consultation, giving broad support for devolution to Hull and East Yorkshire.
The proposal, along with a summary of the consultation results, will now be submitted for consideration to the Secretary of State.
If the Secretary of State is satisfied that the tests for the creation of the new Combined Authority have been met, the new authority could be established in autumn 2024.
