NECA meaning in Governmental ?

Answer: What is North East Combined Authority mean?

The North East Combined Authority, abbreviated to NECA, is a combined authority in North East England created in 2014. It currently consists of the local authorities for Sunderland; Gateshead, South Tyneside; and most of County Durham.

The local authorities for Newcastle upon Tyne; North Tyneside; and Northumberland were included in the combined authority until 2018, when they exited to create their own combined authority, the North of Tyne Combined Authority. For transport policy, the two combined authorities have a joint transport committee. Other authorities in the North East England region that are not in the North of Tyne or the North East areas are part of the Tees Valley Combined Authority.

The North East Combined Authority was established in 2014 by statutory instrument under the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009. It is a strategic authority with powers over economic development and regeneration. At its first meeting on 15 April 2014, Simon Henig, Leader of Durham County Council, was elected as its chair. The functions, property, rights and liabilities of the former Tyne and Wear Integrated Transport Authority were inherited by the North East Combined Authority, forming an executive body within the new authority as the Tyne and Wear Passenger Transport Executive.

It was announced in October 2015 that the authority would receive an enhanced devolution settlement and elect a mayor in 2017. The plans were later cancelled by the Communities and Local Government Secretary Sajid Javid on 8 September 2016, after Durham, Gateshead, South Tyneside, and Sunderland Councils withdrew their support. The current non-mayoral combined authority arrangements will continue.
