Notice of proposed decision first published: 03/10/2023

Reason for urgency:
As part of budget discussions, the Director of Finance and Commercial has recently been requested to explore the possibility of refunding the unspent transport levy. If this is to be agreed, the Combined Authority would need to take a decision in a timely manner to assist the constituent councils in progressing their medium-term financial strategies. The timing of this has meant that it is not practicable to provide at least 28 clear days’ notice in advance of a decision being taken a meeting of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority on 12th October 2023.
