York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority

The York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority (Y&NYCA) is the combined authority for York and North Yorkshire in England.[2]

History

Discussion of a devolution deal involving North Yorkshire County Council and the City of York council authorities began in 2022,[3] although with some concerns from York that the mayoralty would be dominated by North Yorkshire. A deal for a York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority and Mayor of York and North Yorkshire between the UK government and the two councils was struck on 1 August 2022.[4]

Legislation to establish the authority, encompassing the unitary authority areas of the City of York and North Yorkshire, was made on 19 December 2023.[5][2] The combined authority held its first meeting on 22 January 2024 and assumed its powers on 1 February 2024.[6][7][8] The first mayor, David Skaith, was elected in May 2024.[9]

Membership

The cabinet of the combined authority is made up of the Mayor of York and North Yorkshire and two members from each constituent council.[10]

List of mayors

The first mayor of York and North Yorkshire was elected in the 2024 York and North Yorkshire mayoral election.[11]

Branding

The logo for the combined authority was proposed in July 2023.[12] It consists of five coloured semi-circles forming the letter 'C' and was designed at a cost of £5,000.[13] A version also exists for use on social media which omits the full name of the authority, using the abbreviation "Y&NYCA" instead.[14][better source needed]
