The authority met for the first time on 8 November 2018 at Morpeth Town Hall. Norma Redfearn, the elected mayor of North Tyneside Council, was appointed the chair until an interim mayor was appointed.[5] At the combined authority cabinet meeting held on 4 December 2018, Norma Redfearn was confirmed as the interim mayor, and remained in post until the election of Labour and Co-operative's Jamie Driscoll as the authority's first directly elected mayor.
In its levelling up white paper, published in February 2022, the UK government announced its intention expand the existing North of Tyne MCA to include the local authorities of Gateshead, South Tyneside, Durham and Sunderland to form a larger North East Mayoral Combined Authority and the North of Tyne Combined Authority ceased to exist in May 2024.
The authority was formed on 2 November 2018 and in May 2019, elections were held for a directly elected regional mayor who has taken control of certain powers and funding devolved from Westminster to the newly formed region.[6] A fund of £600 million over 30 years, to be administered by the new mayor, was announced in the November 2017 budget.[7]
The responsibilities and governance of the three constituent local authorities will remain unchanged.[8]
The total population of the combined area is approximately 816,000[9] and it covers an area of 2,012 square miles (5,210 km2).[10] Despite the name "North of Tyne," parts of the area are south of the River Tyne, including the towns of Hexham and Prudhoe.
The 2020 Spring Budget from central government reserves funding for "intra-city transport" between Tees Valley and Tyne and Wear, which has been interpreted by some as meaning the borders of the North of Tyne Combined Authority could be adjusted.[13]
