Devolution means responsibility will be transferred to people who know and understand our region.

This will bring greater benefits for our communities and improve people’s quality of life. In the current context, the deal will also provide more essential funding and powers to help our region recover from the Covid-19 pandemic. This is one of the primary reasons why progress continues to be made quickly to ensure we are ready for a mayoral election in May 2021 to unlock the full potential of the deal.

The public consultation will run until 19 July 2020 on the deal and proposals for a directly elected mayor. Please take part and share your views as part of this. There are a number of ways to engage:

Through the online survey on the West Yorkshire Combined Authority website: www.yourvoice.westyorks-ca.gov.uk/WYdevolution ·
