In 2015 Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham, and Sheffield agreed a devolution deal with government. Each twice reaffirmed this commitment when consenting to parliamentary orders.

It is now for those local councils consult on the new powers.

While devolution discussions are ongoing elsewhere in Yorkshire, government remains committed to the existing South Yorkshire deal.
