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!

The structure and powers seem to be in flux, but it would be good to 
(correctly) represent the boundaries and ideally heirarchy in OSM.

All I can say is thanks and good luck unpicking a multi-dimensional 
real-world structure and modelling it in OSM!

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 (The North East Joint Transport Committee 
<https://northeastca.gov.uk/decision-making/the-north-east-joint-transport-committee/> 
has a sort-of structure diagram). I'd suggest stop at the 2x CA.

The two NE CA seem to remain separate for other matters (where they 
presumably disagree). "Splitters!" :-)

Happy Mapping,


James
