The Yorkshire and Humber Assembly

On 31 March 2009, the Assembly closed its doors for business. The work of the Assembly will be taken forward by a combination of Local Government Yorkshire and Humber and Yorkshire Forward. You can find out more about current work from their websites: www.lgyh.gov.uk and www.yorkshire-forward.com.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved with the Assembly over the last decade, and look forward to taking this work forward to help shape a better Yorkshire and Humber for everyone that lives and works in this region.

This website and all documents on it will remain static until the end of February 2010 for historical purposes.

As well as thriving towns and cities, Yorkshire and Humber has more National Park land, historic houses and castles than any other region, and boasts spectacular scenery and a Heritage coastline.

It’s also one of Europe’s fastest growing regions, and home to more than a quarter of a million companies, many of them from overseas. Our economy ranks amongst the top third in the world.

The Yorkshire and Humber Assembly worked closely with partners on key regional issues, and to promote and champion the region nationally and internationally. We lobbied for the very best deal for Yorkshire and Humber and all its communities.

We worked together to improve the quality of life for everyone who lives and works in the region. By combining our experience and knowledge and working together, we could achieve more and get things done faster.

The Assembly had representatives from local government, business, public sector agencies, education and training bodies, trade unions and the voluntary and community sector.
