West Yorkshire Combined Authority

The West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA) is a local government organization that brings together several councils in West Yorkshire to make joint decisions on issues like transport, economic development, and housing. Established to enhance collaboration, WYCA aims to improve services and boost regional growth by pooling resources and expertise from member councils, including Leeds, Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, and Wakefield. It plays a vital role in planning and funding projects that benefit the entire region and address local needs more effectively than individual councils could accomplish alone.
