County Hall - Headquarters of Nottinghamshire County Council

Two-tier system
The council operates under a two-tier structure, with two local authorities delivering services. The County Council is responsible for areas like education and social services. There are seven district councils in Nottinghamshire which look after functions such as housing and refuse collection.

A voice for the people
There are three kinds of elected local representatives in Nottinghamshire. Most are members of a political party but some stand as independents.

County councillors
There are 63 County Councillors in Nottinghamshire, each representing a county division. The current council has 40 Labour, 20 Conservative and 3 Liberal Democrat representatives. They are elected to serve for four years.

District councillors
Nottinghamshire is divided into seven districts (Ashfield, Bassetlaw, Broxtowe, Gedling, Mansfield, Newark and Sherwood and Rushcliffe) which are split into areas called wards. Each ward has two or sometimes three District Councillors.

Parish councillors
Many (but not all) parishes have their own council. If they are small they might form a council in conjunction with a neighbouring parish. Some bigger areas, such as Newark and Bingham, have town rather than parish councils.
