The 2025 Nottinghamshire County Council election took place on 1 May 2025 to elect members to Nottinghamshire County Council in Nottinghamshire, England. [1] All 66 seats were elected. This was on the same day as other local elections.

Contents

Reflecting national trends, the Conservatives, which had regained overall control of the council in the previous local election, [2] experienced a significant loss of seats, resulting in the loss of its majority to Reform UK. The Labour Party also saw a substantial reduction in its representation, retaining only a third of its previous seats. In a rare positive outcome for the Conservatives on the day, the party recorded its sole net gain nationwide in Nottinghamshire, where Janette Barlow won the Collingham ward from independent councillor Debbie Darby.

Aftermath

Reform UK took majority control with an overall majority of 6 seats. Reform's only county councillor prior to the election was John Doddy, who had been elected as a Conservative in 2021 but joined Reform UK earlier in 2025. Seven days after the election, the Reform UK councillor for Newark West, Desmond Clarke, resigned from the council. [20]

After the election, Reform chose Mick Barton to be its new group leader. [21] He was formally appointed as the new leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 22 May 2025. [22]
