Have your say
Welcome to North East Lincolnshire Council’s ‘Have Your Say’ page.
This page will help you find and take part in consultations that interest you. We consider what you tell us and use this, alongside other information, to inform our recommendations and decisions on the related project.
What is a consultation?
A consultation is a process of the public providing their views and feedback on a proposal to consider in the decision-making. Some consultations have to be undertaken as part of ‘official guidance’ within specific projects or pieces of work. Consultations and surveys are also used to seek more general insight and feedback from our communities on certain topics or subject areas.
How does a consultation work?
No two consultation exercises are the same, and how to consult on a particular area/issue or proposed policy/service change or development will be based on each specific project or piece of work.
How can I take part in a consultation?
Consultations are mainly undertaken via online/paper surveys and further insight and engagement can be conducted through focus groups, one-on-ones and pop-up events where necessary.
What are the ‘About You’ questions for?
At the end of some consultations and surveys, you will see an ‘optional’ set of questions titled ‘About You’. We are often asked why we ask questions when the survey might not seem to have an obvious link to them. The reason is it helps us understand who we are reaching with our engagement and if we have gaps (for example age groups, communities of NE Lincs, etc). This could help us look to change how we reach out or share surveys and consultations on future projects and work, hence why we appreciate you taking the time to complete this section.
Not just consultations
We’ve explained what a ‘consultation’ is but that’s not the only type of engagement activity undertaken. This page houses surveys too, from both us and on behalf of partner organisations. We also undertake a variety of other engagement work, such as focus groups, pop-up events and one-on-ones to name a few. We look to ensure the method of engagement fits with the work we are supporting.
Open consultations and surveys

Based on reported incidents, complaints and public demand, we are proposing that a PSPO is put in place across North East Lincolnshire in relation to nuisance vehicles. This would allow the Police, PCSOs and authorised Council officers to deal more robustly with offenders.
We would like to hear from you and see if you agree that the area needs to be protected.
This consultation is open until 9th March 2026.

The Annual Business Survey is now live. The purpose of the survey is to help us as a Local Authority gain an improved and up-to-date understanding of the current economic landscape and the future needs of businesses within the region, with your feedback helping us in making informed data-led decisions in the future. The survey is open to all businesses of all sizes and all industries, operating in North East Lincolnshire. The greater the number of responses we receive, the more detailed and accurate picture we can begin to assemble of the local economic climate in NEL.
All responses can remain anonymous, however at the end of the survey there is an opportunity to be entered into a prize draw for a £100 contribution for a team meal for you and your colleagues , with an email address required to enter.
To take part please use this link: Annual Business Survey
This survey will close on Tuesday 31st March 2026.

North East Lincolnshire Council are proposing exploring the implementation of a new Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) to address persistent Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) in Immingham Town Centre.
A PSPO allows councils to put conditions on specified areas to reduce anti-social behaviour. Based on reported incidents, complaints and public demand we are proposing that PSPOs are put in place in key, ‘hot spot’, public areas. This would allow the Police, PCSOs and authorised Council officers to deal more robustly with offenders at the time of occurrence.
We must consult on the introduction of a PSPO & we’re keen to hear if key organisations and the community agree that the area should be protected.
This PSPO is only a draft and may be changed after consultation along with some prohibitions, the restrictions we are suggesting, may well be changed or removed. We need to be clear that the PSPO will provide officers with the power to enforce these offences however there is no guarantee that these additional powers will be used due to ever increasing and competing demands and the capacity of officers available at the time of offence.
Have your say by taking part at PSPO – Immingham.
This consultation will close on Friday 13th February 2026.
