Implementation and Interim Arrangements

Further developing and delivering the Mayoral Combined Authority’s vision will require collaboration across all the key partners - 

  • the councils
  • private sector
  • public sector
  • voluntary sector
  • social enterprise sector

Key business leaders and employer organisations, the university sector, further education colleges and the third sector, along with those in the public sector, are going to be vital to this process. Hull and East Riding Councils are committed to finding the most appropriate means of involving all stakeholders and progress with proposals to begin the delivery of the vision for the establishment of the Mayoral Combined Authority.

Ahead of this date, the local authorities will form a shadow Combined Authority in the form of a Joint Committee. Joint working arrangements at officer level will be established through the creation of a small joint unit, drawing on external expertise where necessary, and developing a structure that combines the talents and knowledge in both authorities for devising and delivering major strategic projects.

A new business advisory board will provide the business voice for the area and will work with the Mayoral Combined Authority.

The Mayoral Combined Authority will have an assurance framework, in accordance with national guidance, and annually report against this, demonstrating its commitment to the continued high standards of governance and transparency, building on the excellent track record that the area already has.
