York and North Yorkshire sets three-year growth plan

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 13 Oct, 06:03 · Archive

The York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority has approved its first corporate plan, setting out a three-year vision for growth, sustainability and opportunity. The plan serves as a strategic framework for how the combined authority will invest devolved funding, collaborate with partners and measure progress.

Six key priorities underpin the plan: accelerating and delivering inclusive economic growth, tackling climate change to deliver a sustainable future, delivering an integrated transport system that connects people to opportunity, helping communities thrive and be safe and healthy, building a high-performing organisation, and delivering best value.

David Skaith, Mayor of York and North Yorkshire, said the plan 'sets out the next step on our journey and provides a clear roadmap for how we will turn those powers into action over the next three years'. He added that working with government and local partners would unlock more investment and tools, with focus on backing local businesses, making housing more affordable, improving how people move around the county, and creating safer communities.

By 2029, the authority aims for residents to see the benefits of devolution in their daily lives with better transport connections, more affordable homes, greater access to skills and good jobs, safer communities, and continued progress towards a carbon-negative future. The plan also emphasises the authority's ambition for York and North Yorkshire to become carbon negative by 2040.
