EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This order establishes the West Yorkshire Combined Authority.
Part 6 of the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009 (“the 2009 Act”) provides for the establishment of combined authorities for the areas of two or more local authorities in England. Combined authorities are bodies corporate which may be given power to exercise functions relating to transport and to economic development and regeneration in their area.
The Secretary of State may only establish a combined authority for an area where a scheme for such an authority has been published under section 109 of the 2009 Act. This order has been made following the publication of such a scheme on 31st July 2013 by the constituent councils whose areas together make up the combined area of the new authority. The scheme is available at www.awya.gov.uk/combinedauthority.
Part 2 of the Order establishes the new authority, to be known as the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, and makes provision for its constitution and funding.
Article 4 of and Schedule 1 to the Order make provision for the constitution of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority. This is supplemental to the provision that is made by Part 1A of Schedule 12 to the Local Government Act 1972 (see paragraph (6A) of that Schedule, as amended by the 2009 Act).
Article 5 makes provision for the funding, by the constituent councils, of those costs of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority that relate to the exercise of its economic development and regeneration functions.
Part 3 concerns transport. Article 6 abolishes the West Yorkshire integrated transport area and its integrated transport authority and transfers all functions rights and liabilities to the combined authority. Article 7 and Schedule 2 make consequential adaptations to enactments. Article 8 8 provides for the dissolution of the West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive and its merger into the West Yorkshire Integrated Transport Authority. In accordance with article 1(2) this takes effect immediately before the other provisions of the Order. Article 8 also makes general modifications to Acts referring to passenger transport executives and disapplies specified Acts. Article 9 provides for continuity in the exercise of functions as between the abolished Integrated Transport Authority and Passenger Transport Executive and the Combined Authority.
Part 4 confers additional functions on the West Yorkshire Combined Authority. Article 10 confers functions of the constituent councils relating to economic development and regeneration. These are set out in Schedule 3 to the Order and are to be exercised concurrently with the constituent councils. Articles 11 to 12 make some general, incidental provisions relating to the West Yorkshire Combined Authority to enable it to carry out its functions effectively.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been prepared as this instrument will have no impact on the costs of business and the voluntary sector.
