North East Lincolnshire is a unitary authority area in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of England, bordering the unitary authority of North Lincolnshire and the non-metropolitan county of Lincolnshire. The population of the Unitary Authority at the 2011 Census was 159,616. These three administrative units make up the ceremonial county of Lincolnshire.
North East Lincolnshire was created from the boroughs of Cleethorpes and Great Grimsby on 1 April 1996 on the abolition of Humberside.
Historically, it was part of the Kingdom of Lindsey.
North East Lincolnshire had its first "North East Lincolnshire Day" on 3 June 2016.
The north part of the authority has a flat landscape.
North East Lincolnshire is a unitary authority that has operated a cabinet-style council since 2003. There are 42 councillors. They elect the cabinet in May each year. Each cabinet member is responsible for making decisions within their portfolio area. The governance of North East Lincolnshire Council has come under scrutiny from the audit commission on two occasions leading to special public interest reports for its failings. During this time (between 2003 and 2011) it was run politically as a coalition between the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats. In June 2011 it became a minority Labour controlled Council.
North East Lincolnshire council was also the council subject to the Kelly report for Ian Huntley involvement and the Soham murders.
The radio station for the area is called Compass FM, and takes its logo from the logo of North East Lincolnshire, being based south of Grimsby railway station.
