The Yorkshire and Humber Assembly
Assembly meetings
The full Assembly is responsible for providing regional leadership, agreeing regional strategic priorities, directing the development of the 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.
Members come together to discuss and debate the big issues for the region – bringing the experience from their area or sector to develop and shape policy and strategy that is right for Yorkshire and Humber and meets the needs of our people, our businesses and our environment.
Members are accountable to their nominating bodies (for example a local authority or a sector specific groups such as the Regional Environment Forum or the regional CBI). Wherever possible members make decisions on the basis of consensus. The membership is made up of 60% Local Authorities and 40% Social, Economic and Environmental Partners. The total available votes are allocated using the same 60:40 ratio. Local authority votes are then split proportionally, based on population.
The full Assembly meets at least three times a year, normally in February, June and October. All meeting agendas, papers and minutes are available from links on the left.
