North East Combined Authority

We’re jointly run by the Mayor and the leaders of the seven councils, meaning every part of the region is fairly represented. This group of people, along with a person from the business world and one representing the voluntary and community sector, make up our Cabinet. This is where important decisions are made.

We know working together is the best way to get more good done for the region, so we work closely with organisations and people from all across the region. These range from health trusts, emergency services, voluntary organisations and local businesses.

Through devolution deals, the Government is giving areas of the country more powers to make their own decisions on issues such as transport, skills and support for business.
