There is no mandate to create an elected Mayor in the East Riding, that's the claim of Councillor David Nolan.
He's called on the council to pull out of the plans to create a combined authority with Hull, saying the results of a recent consultation showed East Riding residents don't favour having an elected Mayor.
Labour Councillor - David Nolan - says only 42 percent of East Riding residents who took part in a recent consultation supported the idea of having an elected mayor, with 43 percent against the idea.
But the council leader - Councillor Anne Handley - says that's not the full picture.
Overall the proposals for an East Yorkshire devolution deal were backed by just over half of those who took part in its consultation with 53 per cent agreeing devolution would address Hull and the East Riding’s priorities while 35 per cent disagreed.
Backing for a mayor and combined authority totalled 47 per cent with 39 per cent against across Hull and the East Riding. Figures from just the East Riding showed 43 per cent opposed versus 42% in favour.
More than 5,800 people took part in the consultation, including 1,491 from Hull and 2,941 from the East Riding.
