Revision as of 14:18, 5 April 2023

The 2023 Derbyshire Dales District Council election will be held on 4 May 2023 to elect all 34 councillors for Derbyshire Dales District Council. This will be on the same day as other local elections.

In the last election, the Conservative Party retained control of the council for the fifth consecutive election, with a significantly reduced majority of 1.^[1]

This will be the first election to the Derbyshire Dales District Council to be held under the new ward boundaries. The total number of councillors is reduced from 39 to 34, and the total number of wards is reduced from 25 to 21. Consequently, the boundaries of most of the wards are different compared to those which have been in use since the 2003 election. The new boundaries under which this election will take place can be viewed here and the arrangements for each new ward are described below.^[2]
