Changes 2023–2027

In August 2023 it was reported that Steve Carr and Barbara Carr left the Liberal Democrats to sit as independents. The Attenborough and Chilwell East by-election was triggered by the resignation of Labour councillor Richard Falvey. On 2 January 2025, 20 of the 26 councillors elected as Labour Party candidates, including council leader Milan Radulovic, resigned from the party due to dissatisfaction with the national Labour Party. They formed the Broxtowe Independents party, and will attempt to run the council as a minority grouping. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cewxrzq0489o
