The government’s halted plans for powers and resources to be handed to a
single mayor covering the Yorkshire region.
It says discussions on the issue can’t take place until an agreement for
South Yorkshire has been fully implemented.
The Local Government Minister, James Brokenshire, has written to the 18
council leaders who back the One Yorkshire deal.
He says he won’t talk to them until a deal already arranged for South
Yorkshire has been fully implemented.
The problem is Barnsley and Doncaster won’t agree to the South Yorkshire
deal because they want to join the rest of Yorkshire.
The 18 council leaders are meeting tomorrow to consider their next moves.
