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




History


Discussion of a devolution deal involving North Yorkshire County Council and the City of York council authorities began in 2022, 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.
Legislation to establish the authority, encompassing the unitary authority areas of the City of York and North Yorkshire, was made on 19 December 2023. The combined authority held its first meeting on 22 January 2024 and assumed its powers on 1 February 2024. The first mayor, David Skaith, was elected in May 2024.




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.




List of mayors


The first mayor of York and North Yorkshire was elected in the 2024 York and North Yorkshire mayoral election. The mayor is a member of the Mayoral Council for England and the Council of the Nations and Regions.
