The Ashfield Independents have secured a landslide majority LocalElection2023
The Ashfield Independents have secured another landslide majority on the district council despite difficulties including one of their councillors being convicted since the last election. The counting of votes at the new Kirkby Leisure Centre, which began at 10pm on Thursday , initially saw some difficult results for the Ashfield Independents as the Conservative and Labour party each made a gain.
But speaking about whether such issues came up during the campaign, Ashfield Independents leader Jason Zadrozny said: "We've had all sorts come up because obviously everybody tried to use things against us and social media has become a bit of a nasty place to be, but I think people have seen through that. This was a council election and it's about council issues.
"The Ashfield Independents are a campaign machine. They get out to the electorate with so many leaflets that we just can't compete with." The final number of 32 Ashfield Independent councillors means they are in fact better positioned than they were following the 2019 local elections, when they won 30 seats.
