What is East Midlands Combined County Authority?
The East Midlands Combined County Authority (EMCCA), is chaired by the Mayor of the East Midlands and brings together our local council leaders, businesses and communities with one shared mission: To unlock opportunity, improve lives, and build a stronger, greener, and fairer East Midlands.
This is a powerful partnership, with membership made up of the directly elected Mayor and democratically elected councillors from our East Midlands partner councils of Derbyshire County Council, Nottinghamshire County Council, Derby City Council and Nottingham City Council; united by the belief that we achieve more together.
EMCCA is about local people shaping local decisions. Approved by the Government, it gives our region new powers and funding, known as a devolution deal, so we can take control of the things that matter most.
We look after billions in funding and work on big plans and projects that work to improve the whole region, including:
- Growing the economy – Bringing in new investment, helping businesses, and creating good jobs.
- Transport – Making it easier to get around by improving buses, trains, roads, and cycle routes.
- Skills and adult education – Giving people the chance to learn the skills that local employers need.
- Housing – Helping to build more affordable, good-quality homes, and making older homes more energy efficient.
- Environment – Supporting clean energy, creating greener spaces, and helping communities live healthier lives Find out more about EMCCA’s priorities.
The EMCCA Growth Hub is the one-stop shop for business support funded by EMCCA and delivered by East Midlands Chamber. Find out more about the Growth Hub.
