The
Leeds City Region is a
city region in the North of England centred on
Leeds, West Yorkshire. The activities of the city region are coordinated by the
Leeds City Region Partnership. Since April 2007 strategic local governance decisions have been made by the joint committee of the Leeds City Region Leaders Board. A
multi-area agreement was established in 2008 and since 2011 economic development has been supported by the Leeds City Region LEP, which forms a business-led
local enterprise partnership. As part of a 2012 'city deal' a
West Yorkshire Combined Authority will be established in order receive devolved powers for transport, economic development and regeneration. The secretariat for the city region is based within
Leeds City Council. The
Leeds City Region Enterprise Zone promotes development in four sites along the
A63 East Leeds Link Road.
