We are working to resolve this issue and do not expect that the service will be down for long but in the meantime we have set up the following email address datasearches@neyedc.org.uk for any urgent business.
If you did send in a data search by email on or after 12pm on Tuesday please be aware we may not have received it so it would be advisable to resend it to the above address.
We apologise for any inconvenience and will update this message as soon as the service is restored.
The new NEYEDC website is still in development an some areas are changing daily. Links will come and go as we test new navigation methods and access controls. Please be patient with the site for now and we will formally launch the site once all the kinks have been ironed out.

Great green bush cricket spotted for first time in East Yorkshire
A monster of the insect world has been found lurking in our region for the first time. The discovery of the great green bush cricket on wasteland in west Hull is exciting naturalists across East Yorkshire. Naturalist Barry Warrington spotted the rare green insect while walking on a footpath along the Humber bank. He managed to photograph the unusual male cricket, which has ears on its front legs, before it slunk back into the undergrowth.Mr Warrington also found another rare insect, a speckled bush cricket, in the same area of west Hull this year.

Plan to control spreading marsh at Cleethorpes beach
A management plan is being drawn up to control the spread of salt marsh at Cleethorpes beach, North East Lincolnshire Council has said. The plan will consider how to manage the marsh while protecting the special habitat and wildlife in the area. It is being put together by the local authority and conservation organisation Natural England. There are concerns that hundreds of tourism jobs could be affected if the marsh is not contained. The marsh is protected under UK and European law. It is feared that it could spread up to the resort's pier if it is left to grow. North East Lincolnshire Council said it hoped the plan would be put in place by the end of the year.
