York and North Yorkshire devolution

The Devolution and unitarisation process presents opportunities for our city and region, which could secure significant investment in York and the wider region over the next 30 years.

It follows the Local Government Reorganisation (unitarisation) process that took place in 2020. That York remains York is a crucial bit of democracy policy we need to keep live.
