Mayors and combined authorities

Hull and East Yorkshire

Councils in Hull and East Yorkshire working together on things that cross their borders, led by a mayor everyone in the area can vote for.

Hull and East Yorkshire Combined Authority (HEYCA) is a Mayoral Strategic Authority with the functions and funding associated with that tier.

Next mayoral election: Democracy Club hasn’t listed it yet.

What the government says about the next election

The Mayor is elected on a 4 year term. The most recent election was held in May 2025 with the next election scheduled for 2029. This will be done by Supplementary Vote, as will further elections.

What it decides

The law gives every authority of this kind powers under these headings:

Headings as printed in the government’s Devolution Framework Explainer: Mayoral Strategic Authorities (Open Government Licence v3.0), which lists each power under them. Which of them this authority uses, and how, is in its own papers.

Do all combined authorities do the same things?

The specifics of the powers of MSAs vary from place to place but typically include aspects of transport, skills, housing, and local infrastructure investment, and in some cases spatial planning, policing, health and employment support.

Police

HEYCA’s geography does not align with the area’s police force. Therefore, HEYCA cannot take on Police and Crime Commissioner functions.

Fire and rescue

HEYCA’s geography does not align with the area’s Fire and Rescue Authority (FRA). Therefore, HEYCA cannot become the FRA.

What’s different about how it is run

At the time of publication, we do not expect HEYCA to have any distinctive governance arrangements.

HEYCA will also retain some different powers in relation to bus operator grants and permit schemes.

Councils in its area

Its constituent councils are Hull City and East Riding of Yorkshire.
