South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority

South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority Restoring the Pride, Purpose and Prosperity of South Yorkshire. Community Guidelines: southyorkshire-ca.gov.uk/socials We attract new investment to our region.

We are the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority
(SYMCA). Led by Mayor of South Yorkshire Oliver Coppard, we bring together the local authorities of Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield and the private sector through our Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP). The Mayor, MCA and LEP have a shared purpose to create a stronger, greener, fairer South Yorkshire. We work together to unlock the

potential of our people, businesses and places and ensure they prosper. Our Strategic Economic Plan (SEP) provides the blueprint for how we will transform our region. We will keep people and businesses moving and help them grow, delivering a public transport network and attracting investment to create a stronger, greener, fairer South Yorkshire by 2040. Our vision is to grow an economy that works for everyone. We will develop inclusive and sustainable approaches that build on our strengths in innovation and embrace the UK’s 4th Industrial Revolution, to contribute more to the country’s prosperity and enhance quality of life for all. We have powers and resources, devolved from Westminster to South Yorkshire, which mean we can take decisions locally about our economy, transport, skills, housing and infrastructure. We use these to create a vibrant, thriving South Yorkshire where people want to live and work. We build the conditions for inclusive economic growth which benefits everyone. We help create good jobs, by backing businesses to grow, invest and locate in South Yorkshire. We support people so they have the training and skills to find work, remain in work or progress in work. We help businesses secure the skills they need to be more productive and grow. We serve South Yorkshire every day and connect people and businesses to the places they need to be. As the body responsible for South Yorkshire’s public transport network, we manage the 102 million passenger journeys made each year in South Yorkshire. We are building a transport system which is reliable, green and affordable. We invest in infrastructure to transform our places, revitalise high streets and deliver new homes.

We’ve reached another key milestone in building The People’s Network.

Bus operators have now been shortlisted to bid for services running from Olive Grove (Sheffield) and Leger Way (Doncaster) - the first areas moving to public control from September 2027.

Over the coming months, operators will submit detailed proposals on how they’ll run bus services day-to-day and the social value they’ll deliver for our communities.

Successful operators will be announced in early 2027.

Great things are happening for young musicians in South Yorkshire 🎸🎼

Young musicians have received new equipment thanks to more than £600k of capital funding from Arts Council England through the South Yorkshire Music Hub. So far, it's enabled investment in studio equipment, brand new instruments and specially adapted instruments for SEND musicians.

It means teachers can focus on teaching while young people focus on what matters most: learning, creating, and making music.

Today sees the launch of The Pride of Yorkshire 🦁

From 8th June to 6th September, 150 sculptures of lions and lionesses, marking 150 years of Sheffield Children's Hospital NHS and Charity will be displayed across South Yorkshire, alongside 150 lion cubs designed by schools and community groups.

This major sculpture trail is helping to fund the redevelopment of the hospital’s Emergency Department, with every penny raised through sponsorship, and the final auction, set to be reinvested into the project. SYMCA has supported this work with a £24,000 contribution, sponsoring four lions, one in each local authority.

SYMCA’s four sponsored lions can be found at:

📍 Elsecar Park, Barnsley
📍 Doncaster Dome, Doncaster
📍 Clifton Park, Rotherham
📍 English Institute of Sport, Sheffield
