Hull and the East Riding are the only parts of Yorkshire not to have a devolution arrangement in place.
Councillor Anne Handley has met with the Deputy PM - Angela Rayner - and was buoyed by the meeting.
The Leader of the East Riding Council says she is expecting to hear more about the region's devolution deal in the next week.
Councillor Handley says that when she met with the Minister responsible and the Deputy PM in London both were speaking positively about the devolution plan and offered a timescale.
The plan would see the creation of a new "combined authority" for Hull and the East Riding which would be led by an elected mayor, it will get powers and money from Westminster.
Both East Riding Council and Hull City Council backed the plan which was sent to the Government in June for approval.
If given the go-ahead then it is expected that the new authority would be created later this year with the first Mayoral elections taking place in Spring next year.
