North East Assembly (NEA) was an unelected regional chamber for the North East region of England, established in 1999 by the Regional Development Agencies Act 1998.
A proposal to establish a directly elected regional assembly was rejected in a referendum held in November 2004.
The regional chamber was abolished in March 2009 with its functions being transferred to One NorthEast, the Regional Development Agency, and the Association of North East Councils, the Local Authority Leaders’ Board.
