Following the April 2024 Yorkshire Declaration, we are drafting a codified constitution for an autonomous Yorkshire that works from the bottom up.

This constitution will define the roles of local councils and four regional mayors and enshrine inclusive grassroots participation. Yorkshire will be unified under one overarching regional authority, with the option of either a single Mayor for Yorkshire, as favoured by the One Yorkshire campaign or a directly elected Yorkshire Assembly, as proposed by some other stakeholders.

Being part of a federal England will enable us to have our say on national issues and collaborate with other regions on shared challenges, such as transport and climate change.
