Nottinghamshire[1] or North and East Nottinghamshire will be a unitary authority area in the ceremonial county of Nottinghamshire, England. It is planned to be formed on 1 April 2028, with elections to a shadow authority taking place in May 2027.[2][3] It will largely cover Nottinghamshire outside of the Nottingham Urban Area, and its largest settlement will be Mansfield.[4] Other settlements include Kirkby, Newark-on-Trent, Retford, Southwell, Sutton-in-Ashfield and Worksop.[5] In the south it includes Hucknall, an outlying part of the Nottingham Urban Area.[6][7]
The area had an estimated population of 561,213 in 2023.[8]
It will be formed from the existing two-tier districts of Ashfield, Bassetlaw, Mansfield, Newark and Sherwood and portions of the existing districts of Broxtowe, Gedling and Rushcliffe. The remaining portions of those districts will, with Nottingham itself, form the Greater Nottingham unitary authority.[9]
It is being formed as part of ongoing local government changes throughout England, in which all areas of the country that have separate county councils and district councils will see those replaced with single-tier, or unitary, local governance.[10] The two alternative proposals for two unitaries in the Nottinghamshire and Nottingham area were not accepted.[11][12]
East Retford, Hucknall, Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Mansfield, Mansfield Woodhouse, Sutton-in-Ashfield and Worksop are currently unparished, the rest of the area is parished.[6]
