I note that on the boundaries that were in place from 1981 election to abolition, there were two Humberside CC divisions called "Ferry" (one in Glanford, one in Hull) and three called "Park" (one in Cleethorpes, one in Grimsby and one in Hull). In the results file on the excellent Elections Centre website, unfortunately the figures for these divisions are merged as one single entry for Ferry and a single entry for Park without making it clear which candidates were standing in each of the divisions with the same name.
For the 1981 and 1985 elections it is possible to cross refer with the relevant year's Handbook (which does separate the results by district) but for 1989 and 1993 those figures don't seem to exist on the website.
Does anyone here have the full detail for those divisions in those two years? Many thanks in advance...

What's the story behind the Green Party presence? Obviously 1989 was a high water mark but but they scored highly in Park (Hull) that year and retained third place in Ferry (Glanford) in 1993. Local names, maybe?

I had the same issue when I created the Wikipedia article for the 1981 Humberside election ( link here), thankfully I was able to get a copy of the results from North Lincs Council. If it's any use to you, here is a map of the results of the 1981 Humberside election. The same division boundaries would have been in place for the 1989 and 1993 elections.
