Humberside County Council (view source)
Revision as of 10:51, November 19, 2024

The council name was unpopular, as many inhabitants of the council area had strong ties to their respective counties proper. This was especially the case in northern parts of the East Riding of Yorkshire, where locals had little affinity with the distant northern Lincolnshire. Following the abolition of the council area, administrative functions were transferred to four council areas; northern Lindsey was split between [[North Lincolnshire|North Lincolnshire Council]] and [[North East Lincolnshire|North East Lincolnshire Council]], with the Yorkshire part of the council area being administered by [[East Riding of Yorkshire Council]] (which has different boundaries from the East Riding proper) and [[Hull City Council]].

== Similarly-named bodies ==
Despite the abolition of Humberside County Council as a local authority and council area, similarly-named organisations survive into the 21st century. [[Humberside Fire and Rescue Service]] and [[Humberside Police]] were established in 1974, and remain responsible for the relevant services in the parts of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire formerly covered by the council.
