Yorkshire and Humber Assembly
The full Assembly is responsible for providing regional leadership, agreeing regional strategic priorities, directing the development of the Region’s Integrated Regional Framework and endorsing key regional strategies. Membership comprises all 22 local authorities in this region, plus 15 Social, Economic and Environmental partners, and the National Parks for planning purposes.
Regional Executive Board
The Regional Executive Board (REB) is where the region does business. It provides the forum for the region’s key players to: co-ordinate regional policy, align regional activity and resources and secure the partnerships that will deliver our vision for a better, sustainable future for Yorkshire and the Humber. It is accountable to the full Assembly.
Regional Housing, Planning and Transport Boards
The core activities of the Assembly are carried out through three functional Boards dealing with housing, planning and transport. They will have full operational responsibility for their area of activity, and are accountable to the Regional Executive Board.
Scrutiny Board
The Scrutiny Board undertakes scrutiny of Yorkshire Forward and is led by the Deputy Chair of the Assembly. It is accountable to the Assembly and works closely with the Sustainable Development Board to assess the impact of the Regional Economic Strategy, acting as a ‘critical friend’ to institutions and bodies working in the region.
Sustainable Development Board
The Sustainable Development Board provides guidance on sustainable development to the full Assembly, the Regional Executive Board and the other Regional Boards. The Board has a particular responsibility to act independently and provide constructive, robust and insightful advice. The Sustainable Development Board works closely with the Scrutiny Board to ensure effective challenge on sustainable development issues.
