The full results of the 2025 Derbyshire County Council elections are now in and Reform UK have won dominant control of the authority.
Before this year’s elections the Conservatives were in control of the council with 40 councillors, followed by Labour with 15, the Liberal Democrats with four, two Amber Valley Independents, two Independents and one Green Party councillor.
Following this year’s voting, the new makeup of the council is as follows: Reform UK, 42 councillors; Conservatives, 12; Labour, three; Liberal Democrats, three; Green Party, two; independents, two.
This year’s elections had a dip in the overall turnout, falling from 39 percent to 36.2 percent, with polls not aligned with a general election prone to lower participation.
