Leeds City Region

YHEF and the Sub-Regions

The coalition Government has abolished many of the structures and policies at the Yorkshire and Humber regional level. City regions will play a much bigger part in sustainable development.

This page has been set up to share information about environment policy in the Leeds City Region.

There is also a Google group associated with this page. If you would like to join this group then please click here (you will need a gmail account).
