Making our region more prosperous, sustainable and fairer

Working together with partners and local authorities, our mission is to make the East Midlands the best place to live, to work, to invest and to learn.

East Midlands Combined County Authority (EMCCA) was formed in March 2024. EMCCA is the first mayoral combined county authority in the country, covering the four local authority areas of Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Derby and Nottingham.

Our ambition is to harness the potential of our region, by working alongside partners and local authorities to make the East Midlands the best place to live, to work, to invest and to learn.

Our remit is to invest in homes, skills, transport and the environment across the region. We will look at the big issues that affect the whole region and take a joined-up, system-wide approach to dealing with them, providing greater benefits across a wider area.

We will use new powers and extra funds to build on the region’s strengths and tackle its challenges with the aim to make it more prosperous, sustainable and fairer, supporting inclusive growth.

EMCCA is not a brand-new tier of government. It is a devolution that will move existing funding and powers from London, directly to us in the East Midlands. This is an opportunity for local voices in the private, public, and voluntary sector to be heard and have a greater role in decision making.
