Funding of £400 Million is Just the Start for Hull and East Riding Deal

Hull and East Yorkshire have negotiated a proposed devolution deal that will see the creation of a mayoral combined authority that comes with £13.44 million of funding, for each of the next 30 years, to increase economic growth.

Cllr Anne Handley is confident that the £400 million is only the beginning.

This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.

If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.

A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
