North East Lincolnshire Council to take lead on Humber Freeport
New tax sites on both banks of the Humber will incentivise growth
North East Lincolnshire is to take the lead on the government’s new major Freeport project for the Humber.
Freeport status for the Humber was granted in April’s budget. It was one of just eight areas of the UK to be designated as having special trading zones, which will allow lower tariffs in a bid to attract investment and major manufacturers to the area.
On Tuesday, North East Lincolnshire Council’s cabinet will ask councillors to accept a request from the Humber Leadership Board for the authority to become “lead authority and accountable body” for the Humber Freepoint.

A man has been charged over an armed robbery and pursuit west of Newcastle yesterday.
Police were called to Beresfield Fish and Chippery around 1:30pm, after the owner’s father called triple-0, reporting a man armed with a gun was threatening two female employees.
Police say the man demanded cash, banging a knife on the counter, before leaving with around $200.
They say he then walked down Beresford Avenue and threatened a 21-year-old man with the gun, demanding his phone and wallet and drove off in a Mazda 3.
Following a large-scale manhunt, police tracked down the car on Woodberry Road and began a short pursuit.
