Its population of 5.2 million in 2007 is larger than Scotland’s making it the third average geographic size, population density and least populous region in England. Over 80 per cent of the birth rate population lives in urban areas with a population over 10,000. more land in national parks than any other English The region has a long eastern coastline facing the North Sea. Region To the west, the Pennine Hills separate it from the North West many areas of low deprivation but twice as many region (see Map 3.1). It is easily accessible from the East areas of high deprivation Midlands, to the south, via the M1 motorway, A1 and the East Coast main line railway, with the latter two providing easy more manufacturing and less business activities than access from the North East. Just inside the West Yorkshire average border with Greater Manchester is the highest motorway in the lowest productivity (gross value added per hour) England, where the M62 reaches 372 metres above sea level. of any English region North Yorkshire is the largest of the four sub-regions (NUTS2 the lowest proportion of children travelling to school areas – see boundary map on page yyy) and largely rural (see in a car Map 3.2), with 0.6 million residents living in 8,300 square km. Nearly half the entire region’s agricultural production comes from North Yorkshire. It also contains the majority of two National Parks – the heather moorlands of the North York Moors and the Pennine hills of the Yorkshire Dales. The sub-region of Eastern Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire has 0.9 million residents living in about 3,500 square km. A significant industry in the sub-region is manufacturing, which created 28 per cent of its output in 2006, compared with 16 per cent or less in other sub-regions. It contains Grimsby and Immingham, the UK’s largest port, which handled 66 million tonnes of goods in 2007. The Humber Bridge connects Kingston upon Hull with Northern Lincolnshire. Built in 1981 its main span of 1,410m was the longest in the world for over 15 years. Despite containing part of the Peak District, South Yorkshire is the second most densely populated sub-region, with 1.3 million residents in about 1,500 square km. Doncaster is well connected, sitting on the East Coast main line, by the A1(M) motorway and with an airport handling one million passengers in 2007. Sheffield had around 55,000 higher education students in its two universities in 2007/08.

  • Yorkshire and the Humber
    Spring Budget 2020 - Yorkshire and the Humber Today’s announcements for Yorkshire and the Humber include: • The government will invest a further £200 million over six years to pilot innovative actions that improve the long-term flood and coastal resilience of 25 local areas across the country, to ensure that they can better prepare for and adapt more quickly to flooding and coastal erosion. Funding, which will be around £6m per area, will be awarded to places at a strategic scale (reflecting county and river catchment boundaries), including those that contain communities which have repeatedly flooded, such as the Calder Valley, Severn Valley and Airedale. • In Yorkshire and the Humber, the increase to the National Living Wage (NLW) this April is expected to benefit around 198,000 people. • In Yorkshire and the Humber, the increase to National Insurance thresholds to £9,500 in 2020-21 will result in a tax cut for 2.4 million people and will lift 85,000 people out of paying Class 1 and Class 4 Nationl Insurance Contributions. • A five-year, intra-city transport settlement for Sheffield City Region and West Yorkshire Combined Authorities from a £4.2 billion envelope, starting in 2022-23 and subject to the implementation of their Mayoral Devolution Deals. While it will be for Mayors to come forward with plans, this could fund renewal of the Sheffield super-tram and support development of a modern, low carbon West Yorkshire mass rapid transit system. • £400 million spending on strategic road schemes between 2020 and 2025. This includes building the A63 Castle Street improvement in Hull.

Health and wealth in Yorkshire 15 and the Humber 3. Building on the foundations 22 4. Conclusion and next steps 27 References 36 #YHealth4growth | 2 Foreword On behalf of Yorkshire & Humber Academic Health Science Network, the NHS Confederation and Yorkshire Universities we are delighted to introduce our report: Levelling Up Yorkshire and Humber: health as the new wealth post-COVID. Since we held our inaugural YHealth for Growth conference in December 2019, the world has fundamentally changed. Unemployment has rapidly increased, and inequalities in health and wealth have been thrown into sharp focus. However, as we manage the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic and look towards living with and beyond COVID-19, the need to drive inclusive growth and the messages in this report have become more important than ever. In this report we explore the role of health in driving economic and inclusive growth in the Yorkshire and Humber region and recognise the clear linkages between health and wealth – we know that a healthy population is a productive and prosperous one and vice versa. We make a series of recommendations at both local and national level that we believe are fundamental to reset and recovery as we emerge from the pandemic. Yorkshire and the Humber as a region does not punch its weight in terms of economic output or positive health outcomes. However, the region has a huge range of assets and anchor institutions that represent a critical mass in terms of economic geographies, research base, infrastructure and industrial potential.

John Shepherd and Sam Waples, Rural Evidence Research Centre Birkbeck College June 2013 Comparisons of the Geographical Relationships of Local Economic Partnerships Areas and Leader Advisory Group Areas in England 1 Introduction 1.1 The Rural Evidence Research Centre working with the University of Lincoln and Rose Regeneration on the evaluation of the 2005 – 2013 RDPE Leader programme was asked to provide a range of economic and social data to enable an assessment to be made of the geographical relationship between the 39 English Local Economic Partnerships (LEPS) and the 64 English Leader Advisory Group Areas (LAGs). 1.2 The purpose of the analyses was to provide data on characteristics of LEPs and LAGs and areas where there was no LAG coverage. Where appropriate there was to be information provided on the characteristics of LAGs/LEPs by urban rural definition. 1.2 In this note we explain the way the various areas were derived, focusing on those which Defra regards as most significant for policy reasons. We highlight the more significant findings in the data via a number of summary tables below. The full data for the study are contained in a series of corresponding Excel tables. Maps are presented in annexes to the note. 2. The LAG/LEP Areas 2.1 The 64 LAG areas are mutually exclusive in geographical terms (i.e. do not overlap) but do not provide complete geographic coverage of the country (Annex Map 1).
