Regional government offices deliver a wide range of central government policies and programmes within the English regions.
The Government Office for Yorkshire and The Humber (GOYH) is based at Lateral, 8 City Walk in Leeds. GOYH work closely with local authorities and key public service providers within our region to deliver on key central government priorities like regenerating communities, fighting crime, tackling housing needs, improving public health, raising standards in education and skills, countryside issues, and reducing unemployment.
Feeding a regional perspective back to central government is also a vital part of GOYH's role. This makes sure that developments in government policies take account of local variations and priorities.
