Ashfield Independents have increased their majority to keep hold of Ashfield District Council.
They won 32 of a possible 35 seats - with the Conservatives and Labour both losing one each, now having only two and one seat respectively.
Votes were counted overnight at the new Kirkby Leisure Centre. Candidates contested 23 council wards.
In the 2019 election, the Ashfield Independents won 30 out of a possible 35 seats and secured overall majority control of the council.
The group had taken over the council a year earlier, when a vote of no confidence ousted the previous Labour administration.
