Overall across the county the Conservatives emerged as the largest party on Notts County Council after the last elections in 2017, taking 31 seats to Labour’s 23 with the Ashfield Independents in third with five.

It was much more clear cut in the Dispatch area as the Conservatives won all four seats available.
