The new North Yorkshire Combined Authority comprising North Yorkshire Council and the City of York Council

The Mayor of York and North Yorkshire is a proposed elected position that will see residents of the new York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority (City of York and North Yorkshire unitary authority areas) elect a mayor for the first time in May 2024.[1][2] The agreement, signed on 1 August 2022 (Yorkshire Day), will create a new combined authority across the region led by a directly elected mayor, who will have the power to spend the money on local priorities such as transport, education and housing.[3]
