York and North
Yorkshire Economy
and Skills Board
The Board
has overall responsibility for the York and North Yorkshire sub regional
partnership and in particular gives final approval to the Investment Plan. It
also ensures that there are effective processes for decision making on
strategies, policies and projects within the sub region, which involve a wide
range of partners.
This page
gives details on its role, membership and provides access to its agendas.
Background
(under review)
The Board was set up
by the North
Yorkshire Strategic Partnership and the York Economic Development Board in order
to make decisions at a political level across the sub region on the Investment
Plan.
The Board
is a grouping of the Local Authorities, sub regional bodies
and regional organisations. It is intended to be a lay body and specifically
avoids a crossover of membership with the York and North Yorkshire Partnership
Executive, a body of Chief executives and senior officers, which is its
principal advisor.
Role of the Board
Its main role is to ensure
that the sub region speaks with one voice and to agree the sub regions view
as to what are its priorities for economic and social regeneration. The Board
has the responsibility of facilitating the implementation of the Regional
Economic Strategy in the sub region and prepares and monitors the Investment
Plan to achieve that. Its role is encapsulated as follows.
-
Endorsing sub regional
strategies and plans
-
Giving authority and agreement
to other groups or partnerships to determine the sub regional view
-
To consider proposals for
major investment to ensure there is specific sub regional support
-
To promote inter agency
working
-
To encourage the participation
of the private and voluntary sectors in these processes
-
To seek to resolve differences
within and between partnerships on a last resort basis
