Council Item Agenda Item 01/21 Welcome The Chair welcomed members, deputies and attendees to the eighth meeting of the West Yorkshire and Harrogate (WY&H) Health and Care Partnership Board. He reminded members of the Partnership’s shared mission to join up our services and investment to meet the current and future needs of the people of WY&H. The Chair welcomed Councillor Fiona Venner, Executive Member for Adult and Children's Social Care, Leeds City Council and Health Partnerships and Chair of the Leeds Health and Wellbeing Board as a new member of the WY&H Partnership Board. The Chair noted his thanks on behalf of the WY&H Partnership Board to Cllr Rebecca Charlwood, previous Chair of the Leeds Health and Wellbeing Board and Executive Member for Health, Wellbeing and Adults for Leeds City Council. 3 Item 04/21 Item Agenda Item The Chair noted the focus of the meeting today would be to consider the Partnership’s focus and priorities over the past three months, progress against the action plan in response to our review into inequalities for Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities and staff; the recently published government white paper and its implications for our partnership; the WY Devolution Deal and the Partnership’s planning priorities for 21/22. The Chair explained that the meeting would be lived streamed on the Partnership website and recorded for future reference as part of the Partnerships’ commitment to transparency and accountability. 02/21 Questions and public deputations The Chair advised that as part of the Partnership Board’s commitment to transparency and accountability, we want to give people an opportunity to ask questions and make deputations/statements at our meetings about items on that day’s agenda. Members noted that due to the COVID-19 restrictions, the approach to dealing with public questions would be slightly different for this meeting. Members of the public were invited to telephone with or email their questions to the Partnership Team by 5pm on 1 March 2021 so that a member of the Partnership Team could read them out on their behalf. He advised that as always, wherever possible, the Partnership Board would aim to provide a concise verbal answer to questions during the meeting and that the Partnership Team would also provide further information verbally or in writing after the meeting and post all questions and answers on our website. Stephen Gregg shared the full wording of each question received in advance of today’s meeting on the screen and read out a summary of each question that had been submitted (Annex A). Stephen explained that a number of questions had been received on 30 November 2020 and subsequently responded to by the WY&H Partnership Team on 15 December 2020. Unfortunately, these questions and the WY&H Partnership responses to them had not been annexed to the minutes of the previous meeting and would be shared on the screen during today’s meeting. They had also been uploaded to the Partnership Website. 03/21 Declarations of Interest The Chair explained that the Partnership Board takes conflicts of interest seriously and that declarations of interest would be a standing item on all agendas. He highlighted that, as set out in the Partnership Board’s Terms of Reference, members and those in attendance must abide by all policies of the organisation that they represent in relation to interests. Members noted that the WY&H Partnership Team had prepared a composite register, bringing together, into one place, the declarations that members and attendees have submitted to their own organisation and that this had been

  • PRESS RELEASE IMMEDIATE RELEASE Mayors Lead the Way On
    PRESS RELEASE IMMEDIATE RELEASE Mayors lead the way on fixing Northern transport Northern Metro Mayors Andy Burnham, Tracy Brabin, Steve Rotheram, Jamie Driscoll and Dan Jarvis have joined forces to stand up for passengers and set out their vision for transport in the North. The Northern Transport Summit brought together business and political leaders from across the region to shape future plans to build a safe, efficient, clean, sustainable and accessible transport system which will form the foundations to rebuild the North’s full economic potential. Experts rallied for investment in infrastructure and putting connectivity at the heart of the levelling up agenda. Including calls to build back better transport to reduce the inequalities between passengers in the North and South and improve access to job opportunities across the region. There was also a focus on accelerating a green recovery from the pandemic and investing in decarbonisation of road and air travel. From improving buses to getting more commuters on bikes, experts discussed how to rebuild confidence in public transport and make it the green, clean and affordable option for both work and leisure journeys. Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester, said: “We know that fully-integrated and accessible transport networks are the foundation for social and economic prosperity. That’s why I recently announced a transport revolution to deliver for the people of Greater Manchester. “Affordable and reliable journeys, including daily caps where a single bus journey from Harpurhey in Greater Manchester should cost the same as one in Haringey, London. People should be able to move seamlessly across the city-region on buses, trams and trains with bike hire schemes and walking and cycling corridors.

  • HBF Recommendations for the New Mayor of West Yorkshire.Pdf
    Recommendations for the new Mayor of West Yorkshire The people of West Yorkshire will vote for their first Mayor on the 6 May. The affordability of housing and the type of homes that will be built over the next twenty years is very likely to be a key issue for the people of West Yorkshire. What the new mayor does in the next three years will be critical to shaping the future of housing in the region. Post-election, we look forward to working with the Mayor and the Combined Authority to help deliver all types of homes. However, it is clear that there are major challenges on the horizon. To ensure that the region builds the housing it needs and supports constituents, the Home Builders Federation recommends the following: • The new Mayor should commit to preparing a spatial development strategy that covers the five constituent local authorities of the West Yorkshire region. An up-to- date spatial plan for the city-region will coordinate land allocations for future housing supply with transport and environmental investment projects. • HBF acknowledges the difficulty associated with accommodating the 35% housing uplift for the cities of Leeds and Bradford. Bradford has recently declared that it is unable to meet this higher requirement in its new local plan. The new Mayor should encourage other local authorities in the wider combined authority family to cooperate to accommodate an element of this housing supply shortfall. • As owner-occupation remains the tenure of preference for most households, the Mayor should work with housebuilders to explore ways to support those who hope to become first-time buyers in West Yorkshire.

  • Devolution Briefing Book
    West Yorkshire Devolution briefing book Purpose of the briefing book The devolution deal is the beginning. Alongside significant immediate benefits it also positions West Yorkshire to benefit from new Mayoral funding streams and continue our discussions with Government over further powers and funding to achieve our ambitions. Combined authorities do not have a single model. The detail of their powers and funding arrangements are separate deals agreed and legislated in Parliament. Most Combined Area devolution deals focus on economic development, transport, skills, and land development. There are differences in what powers, funding and accountability comes with each change, in that some are statutory, some non-statutory, some are commitments, and not all have associated devolved funding. The Order that will be laid in Parliament establishes these differences, changes to current arrangements, and constitutional arrangements of the additional delegated functions to the Mayor and the Combined Authority. Existing powers and funding currently exercised and accessed by the Combined Authority remain unchanged. This briefing book acts as a reference guide to the devolution deal and Scheme to ensure consistency of understanding and to assist in briefings. It provides more information about the functions (powers and duties) and budgets of the devolution deal, and who is responsible for what: The Mayor or the West Yorkshire Combined Authority. It sets out what we know now, what is means for the region, and what opportunities it creates. It is split into seven sections that can be viewed in isolation, or as a complete article: 1. Introduction to the devolution deal 2. Governance 3. Transport 4.

  • Mayoral Area: West Yorkshire Party: Green Candidate Name: Andrew Cooper Twitter: @Clrandrewcooper 1. If Elected, How Will You C
    Mayoral Area: West Yorkshire Party: Green Candidate name: Andrew Cooper Twitter: @clrandrewcooper 1. If elected, how will you champion social workers in your area? Yes. Social workers are on the frontline of helping some of our most vulnerable people. Their role is vital. Politicians should be supportive of social workers and not disappear when the going gets tough 2. Directly-elected Mayors can use their position to effectively champion national issues on behalf of their constituents. If elected, will you use your influence to raise issues relating to social work with national Government? Though the Mayor has no direct power over social work they are the political representative of a whole region so what they say matters and yes I would want to use my influence with central government to support social work. 3. If elected, will you (when suitable) make representations for the investment in social work recruitment, education, and retention initiatives? Yes and I would seek the views of professionals on when I could be most helpful. 4. If elected, will you promote equality and diversity in your area? Yes this a core element of my political beliefs. 5. If elected, will you seek to tackle poverty and the causes of poverty in your area? Yes and I will seek a trial for a Universal Basic Income in West Yorkshire 6. If elected, will you seek to tackle homelessness and the causes of homelessness in your area? Yes and I would seek a suspension of the Right to Buy to protect the social housing stock. Social housing is a social good.

  • NORTHERN MAYORS 100 Days of a New Term
    Institute for Public Policy Research NORTHERN MAYORS 100 days of a new term Marcus Johns August 2021 SUMMARY 6th May 2021 marked the beginning of a new era for the north of England’s metro mayors. It saw some of the inaugural cohort (first elected in 2017) re- elected, and a new Mayor of West Yorkshire—the first woman metro mayor. Mayoral combined authorities in the North now cover 9.7 million people and over 60 per cent of our region’s economy. These mayors wield significant powers and resources: northern mayoral combined authorities collectively plan to spend nearly £4.4 billion in 2021/22 according to IPPR North analysis of 2021/22 approved budgets. Northern mayors increasingly reach beyond formal powers to improve the lives of the people that they represent. A review of recent mayoral manifestos and announcements shows that mayors are seeking to deliver on ambitious local visions, breaking free of the constraints of the original conception of the mayoral role. However, their powers remain vulnerable to the whims of a centralising government that, despite rhetoric, appears to blow hot and cold on devolution. Now, as we enter this new era, government must recommit to devolution as the means to deliver levelling up. It is time to give mayors and the places they represent the backing they need to level up for themselves. MAYORS ARE MORE POWERFUL THAN PEOPLE THINK 100 days ago, the UK held one of the largest sets of local and devolved elections in its history. In the North, this included the second metro mayoral elections in Greater Manchester (GMCA), Liverpool City Region (LCRCA), and Tees Valley (TVCA), where incumbent mayors secured increased majorities; and the first mayoral election for the new West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA).

  • Devolution and Transition of PCC Functions
    Report to: West Yorkshire Police and Crime Panel Report from: Alan Reiss, Director of Policy, Strategy and Communications (West Yorkshire Combined Authority) Date: April 2021 Subject: Transfer of Policing and Crime Functions to West Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority 1. PURPOSE 1.1 To give the Police and Crime Panel a report on progress of the transfer of Police and Crime Commissioner functions to the incoming West Yorkshire Mayor. 2. BACKGROUND INFORMATION 2.1. The West Yorkshire Devolution Deal was agreed by the Government and the Leaders of the five West Yorkshire Councils in March 2020. The deal contained a commitment to transfer the functions of the Police and Crime Commissioner to the Mayor by 2024. The delay in the local and PCC elections in May 2020 led to an opportunity for the functions to be transferred in time for the first Mayoral elections in May 2021. 2.2. The Devolution Order became law on 31 January 2021, paving the way for the functions to be transferred to the Mayor of West Yorkshire on 10 May 2021. This will make West Yorkshire the second place in England outside London (after Greater Manchester) to have a Mayor with these responsibilities, providing an opportunity for even greater join-up and partnership working across key public services. The Mayor has the option of appointing a Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime, to whom they can delegate a range of functions. 2.3. The Notice of Election has now been made, and arrangements are in place for elections to proceed in May 2021, and for the transfer to take place on 10 May.
