2019 Bolsover District Council election

The 2019 Bolsover District Council election took place on 2 May 2019 to elect all 37 members of Bolsover District Council in England. This was on the same day as other local elections.

The election resulted in the Labour Party losing control of the council for the first time in 40 years after winning 18 seats, one short of a majority. Independents made gains largely at the expense of Labour, winning 16 seats.

Labour then won back the District Council in 2021 after 2 by election gains in Bolsover North and Shuttlewood and Pinxton wards. They have since had Liz Smyth (Ault Hucknall) join the Labour Group at Bolsover District Council in 2021, giving the Labour group a majority of 2.
