Mansfield

From 23 February to 03 May 2021, we are accepting opinions and comments (submissions) from the public on where you believe ward boundaries should be in Mansfield District Council.  

The Commission is minded to recommend that Mansfield District Council should have 36 councillors in the future. This is no change from the current number of councillors. 

The Commission now needs information from people and groups across Mansfield to help it to produce new ward boundaries to accommodate 36 councillors. 

For more information, see our: 

• News release  
• Letter to the Chief Executive of Mansfield District Council 
• Electoral figures
