Humberside County Council was the county council of the non-metropolitan county of Humberside in northern England, which was created in 1974 and abolished in 1996.

History

Humberside was a non-metropolitan county governed by Humberside County Council and nine non-metropolitan district councils. The county council came into its powers on 1 April 1974 and was abolished in 1996.[1] The county council was based at County Hall in Beverley.[2] On 1 April 1996 the county council was replaced with four unitary authorities: North Lincolnshire, North East Lincolnshire, Kingston upon Hull and East Riding of Yorkshire.[1]

The coat of arms was submitted to the council for approval by a resident of Humberside (in Thorngumbald), and depicts several characters in the blazon. The shield bears two Yorkshire roses, a pair of gold fleur-de-lys for Lincolnshire and a gold ducet for Hull. The crest depicts a blue eagle issuing from the old East Riding arms - an allusion of the new deriving from the old. The eagles has droplets on its wings, representing North Sea oil. A sword represents Scunthorpe steel, with a dolphin, anchor, waves and globe representing the docks and shipping of the Humber, and the goddess Ceres represents agriculture.[3]

Political control

The first election to the council was held in 1973, initially operating as a shadow authority before coming into its powers on 1 April 1974. Political control of the council from 1974 until its abolition in 1996 was as follows:[4][5]
