Changes between 2015 and 2019
Christine Quinn-Wilcox (Selston Independents) retained a Selston seat for the Selston Independents in the 26 November 2015 by-election.
In November 2015 Independent Councillor Jason Zadrozny (Larwood), along with Liberal Democrats Councillors Tom Hollis (Ashfields) and Rachel Madden (Annesley & Kirkby Woodhouse) formed the Ashfield Independents party.[2] These were joined by former Liberal Democrats Councillors Anthony Brewer (Skegby)[3], Christian Chapman (Jacksdale)[4] and Helen Smith (Stanton Hill & Teversal)[5], Labour Councillors Helen Hollis (The Dales)[6], Glenys Maxwell (Huthwaite and Brierley)[7] and Selston Independents Councillors Christine Quinn-Wilcox (Selston)[8] and Robert Sears-Piccavey (Underwood)[9]
John Wilmott (Ashfield Independents) gained a Hucknall North seat from the Conservatives in the 12 October 2017 by-election.[10]
On 20 March 2018 Labour councillors Lee Anderson (Huthwaite and Brierley) and Chris Baron (Hucknall West) changed affiliation to the Conservatives, and Steve Carroll (Sutton Junction and Harlow Wood) left Labour to sit as an Independent.[11][12]
In April 2018 Labour Councillors Amanda Brown (Central and New Cross), Tim Brown (Central and New Cross) and Joanne Donnelly (Abbey Hill) left the Labour Group to sit as Independents.[12]
As a result of the above changes on the 26 April 2018 The Ashfield Independents and Independents joined by the Conservatives forced a vote of no confidence in the Labour leadership and replaced Labour leader Councillor Cheryl Butler with Jason Zadrozny of the Ashfield Independents.[12]
As of the 1st May 2018 the current make up of the Council is Labour 14 (-8), Ashfield Independents 11 (+11), Conservative Party 5 (+2), Independents 5 (+3) and Liberal Democrats 0 (-5).[13]
