    <p>I'm in one of the recent combined authorities, but to give you an
      idea of their public profile, I _thought_ Northumberland was in
      NECA - it _was_ but split out into North of Tyne Combined
      Authority!</p>
    <p>The structure and powers seem to be in flux, but it would be good
      to (correctly) represent the boundaries and ideally heirarchy in
      OSM.</p>

    <p>All I can say is thanks and good luck unpicking a
      multi-dimensional real-world structure and modelling it in OSM!</p>
    <p>The Wikipedia page suggests a Pythonesque situation with several
      NE county-level authorities aligned into two Combined Authority
      blocks, but the two blocks then combine into one for specific
      policy areas such as transport (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://northeastca.gov.uk/decision-making/the-north-east-joint-transport-committee/">The
        North East Joint Transport Committee</a> has a sort-of structure
      diagram). I'd suggest stop at the 2x CA.<br>
    </p>
    <p>The two NE CA seem to remain separate for other matters (where
      they presumably disagree). "Splitters!" :-)<br>

    <p>Happy Mapping,</p>
