The North East Combined Authority (NECA) is a combined authority in North East England. NECA has a directly-elected Mayor and seven member councils; two county unitary authorities (Durham and Northumberland) and five metropolitan boroughs (Gateshead, Newcastle, North Tyneside, South Tyneside, Sunderland).
A separate devolved region comprising five councils, the Tees Valley, borders the south of the combined authority's devolved region. Together the two combined authorities occupy the geographic extent of the North East England English region.[2][3]
The authority was announced on 28 December 2022 in the North East devolution deal and will be fully operational by May 2024. On 6 March 2024, the Government announced the North East deeper devolution deal, which supersedes the previous devolution deal and will give NEMCA increased devolved powers.[4][5][6]
The first election for the authority took place on 2 May 2024, and the replacement of both the non-mayoral North East Combined Authority and the North of Tyne Combined Authority happened on 7 May 2024.[2]
