The Combined Authority was set up in 2017 to make decisions and investments that benefit people living and working in Bath and North East Somerset, Bristol and South Gloucestershire.
Together, our aim is to deliver economic growth for the region and address some of our challenges, such as productivity and skills, housing and transport.
The Combined Authority is led by Dan Norris, Metro Mayor for the West of England, who was elected in May 2021.
The Committee takes key decisions on matters affecting our region, including funding projects through the regional Investment Fund.
The Combined Authority is led by Stephen Peacock, Chief Executive of the West of England Combined Authority and Local Enterprise Partnership.
The Combined Authority was established in early 2017 through our region's devolution deal. This deal transferred significant powers and funding to our region, and has given us the opportunity to be ambitious at a scale not seen before.
