Hull and East Yorkshire Combined Authority - Home page

We are Hull and East Yorkshire

The Hull and East Yorkshire Combined Authority (HEYCA) is the devolved body which allows powers and funding to come from Westminster to our region.

Decisions that have previously been made hundreds of miles away by the national government in London can now be made together by local leaders.

HEYCA, to be led by an elected mayor, works with Hull City Council and East Riding of Yorkshire Council to ensure that Hull and East Yorkshire can become a better place to live, work and do business.

We have a shared ambition to drive productivity and economic prosperity as we promote Hull and East Yorkshire as a vibrant, culturally rich, outward-looking and sustainable place.

Our principles

Enhance connectivity

Enhance connectivity to create an integrated low carbon transport network, ensure the continued success of our ports and Freeport and develop our world leading digital capabilities to support collaboration and new ways of working.

Increase productivity

Increase productivity by providing our workforce with the skills and job opportunities needed for the future as we transition to a zero-carbon economy as well as supporting business innovation and competitiveness.

Promote inclusivity

Promote inclusivity which creates economic opportunities for our most deprived communities and provides decent homes for all, ensuring we address the persistent cycle of poverty, poor health and low aspiration.

Deliver a sustainable future
