Growing York's Economy - Working in the Leeds City Region Partnership
To provide an
update on opportunities emerging through the Leeds City Region LEP.
This will include:
1. A progress update on the development of the West Yorkshire &
York Transport Fund. Provide details of the York package of
schemes; present the results of the York package and the benefits
that this will bring. Provide details of the wider West Yorkshire
partnership scheme and estimated impact. Provide an update on
emerging governance proposals and indicative timeline of key
milestones.
Members are asked to seek approval for committing to the indicative
level of financial contributions that York would need to make to
the fund. Approve the governance of Memorandum of Understanding for
the interim period.
2. A report on a governance review, which responds to the need for
York to ensure its governance for transport is fit for purpose in
light of the creation of a West Yorkshire plus York Transport Fund
and the proposal for Government to devolve major scheme funding to
a sub-set of Leeds City Region authorities.
Members are asked to: Explore the governance options in the report,
which are based on the opportunities presented by the City Deal and
the economic case for greater connectivity with the West Yorkshire
economy, and agree on one of the options.
