To Emma from Hull, Humberside has not existed for a mere 11 years, not that long really, especially when it existed for a whole 22 years! Also - Hull isn't actually in East Yorkshire. It became a separate unitary authority in 1996, when Humberside ceased to exist. Indeed in 1889, when the country council was set up, Hull wasn't even then part of the East Riding of Yorkshire! However, the Police, and Fire and Rescue services, are still Humberside. Go figure!
