New chancellor Rachel Reeves has met with Yorkshire’s three elected mayors.
West Yorkshire’s Tracy Brabin, North Yorkshire’s David Skaith and Oliver Coppard, who represents South Yorkshire, met with Ms Reeves on Thursday in Leeds.
The group of Labour mayors talked to the chancellor about devolution promoting economic growth across the region.
Ms Reeves, who is also Labour MP for Leeds West and Pudsey, said they had entrusted mayors to “deliver change for their communities, secure investment and power growth so that people here feel better off”.
