2011 UK local government election

The 2011 Derbyshire Dales District Council election took place on 5 May 2011 to elect members of Derbyshire Dales District Council in Derbyshire, England. The whole council was up for election and the Conservative Party stayed in overall control of the council.

Election result

The Conservatives increased their majority on the council after winning 28 seats at the election in May. They gained 4 seats from the Liberal Democrats, more than offsetting losing 1 seat to Labour. Overall turnout at the election was 50.8%.

The Conservatives gained 4 seats from the Liberal Democrats in the wards of Darley Dale, Matlock All Saints and Matlock St Giles. However the Conservatives did lose 1 seat to Labour in Masson, by a 5-vote margin. In total of the 38 seats elected in May, 15 new councillors were elected.

The election in Stanton ward was delayed until 23 June after no candidates were nominated for the seat originally. At the delayed election the Conservatives held the seat and therefore had 29 of the 39 councillors.
