The East Midlands is one of the
regions of England and consists of most of the eastern half of the traditional region of the
Midlands. It consists of the combined area of
Derbyshire,
Leicestershire,
Rutland,
Northamptonshire,
Nottinghamshire and most of
Lincolnshire.The highest point in the region is
Kinder Scout, in the
Derbyshire Peak District at 2,088 ft (636 m). A looser definition of the East Midlands would include the
City of Peterborough,
Burton upon Trent in
Staffordshire,
North Lincolnshire and
North East Lincolnshire.Financial funding decisions for the East Midlands (usually public construction schemes) are taken at the East Midlands Regional Assembly, based in
Melton Mowbray. It is not an elected chamber, but a
quango.
