The 2014 North East Lincolnshire Council election took place on 22 May 2014 to elect members of North East Lincolnshire Council in England.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/events/vote2014/england-council-election-results England council results 23 May 2014 BBC News This was on the same day as other local elections. These elections saw UKIP making significant gains largely at the expense of Labour, and stripping them of their majority on the council.
Council make up
After the 2014 local elections, the political make up of the council was as follows:Local elections 22 May 2014 - North East Lincolnshire Council https://www.nelincs.gov.uk/councillors-and-democracy/elections-and-electoral-registration/election-results/local-elections-22-may-2014/ dead https://web.archive.org/web/20180701222326/https://www.nelincs.gov.uk/councillors-and-democracy/elections-and-electoral-registration/election-results/local-elections-22-may-2014/ 2018-07-01 nelincs.gov.uk

These elections saw UKIP make significant gains on the council, ultimately stripping the Labour administration of a majority. The results led to UKIP heavily targeting the area at the general election the following year, but this came with little success and they would only gain one council seat in 2015, whilst coming third in both the Great Grimsby and Cleethorpes constituencies.
The Liberal Democrats were seen to have had some comfort in holding two of their defensive seats (East Marsh and Park), considering they lost all their defensive seats at the last elections in 2012 and only won one in 2011, but with their failure to regain Yarborough after their remaining councillor defected to Labour, they had their lowest number of councillors on the authority since its creation.
