The 2023 Bassetlaw District Council election took place on 4 May, 2023, to elect all 48 members of Bassetlaw District Council in England. [1] The election was held on the same day as other local elections in England as part of the 2023 United Kingdom local elections.
The Labour Party retained control of the council with an increased majority, gaining one seat from the Liberal Democrats and one seat from an Independent. The Conservatives gained three seats, one from Labour and two from Independents. [2]
Bassetlaw is a shire district in Nottinghamshire, England. It is predominantly rural, with two towns: Worksop and Retford. The district was formed in 1974 by the Local Government Act 1972. Local Government in Nottinghamshire is organised on a two-tier basis, with local district councils responsible for local services such as housing, local planning and refuse collection and Nottinghamshire County Council responsible for "wide-area" services, including education, social services and public transport. Bassetlaw District Council has been controlled by Labour for most of its existence, except for a brief period from 2006 to 2011 when it was controlled by the Conservatives. [3]
Bassetlaw is divided into 25 wards for electoral purposes, with each ward electing between one and three councillors. Until 2015, the council was elected by thirds, with district elections being held every year except the year in which elections to Nottinghamshire County Council took place. The council resolved in 2014 to hold all-out elections from 2015 onwards, with all 48 councillors elected in all-out elections every four years.
