<p>The Regional Transport Strategies Directorate was created to support the Northern
Powerhouse, with its remit subsequently expanded to support the Government’s re-balancing
agenda. Following a reorganisation, implemented on Monday 27th November, Regional
Transport Strategies has been restructured in order to support the Department’s ‘place
based engagement’ better. As a result, the Directorate has been renamed Regions, Cities
and Devolution.</p><p> </p><p>The geographical spread of the new Directorate’s staff,
which includes a mix of full- and part-time working, by NUTS1 regions is set out below:</p><p>
</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>NUTS 1 Region</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>No.
of Staff</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>West Midlands (England)</p></td><td><p>6</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Yorkshire
& the Humber</p></td><td><p>5</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North West (England)</p></td><td><p>1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North
East (England)</p></td><td><p>16</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>London</p></td><td><p>44</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>72</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p>Whilst the staff in this Directorate are spread across the above five regions,
their work is not limited to the region in which they are based.</p>
