  NE Derbyshire District Council's political landscape has shifted after its only three Liberal Democrats have joined forces with a Conservative councillor and an Independent councillor to form a new five-strong group called the Derbyshire Independents.

The Derbyshire Independents, a new group formed by members of the North East Derbyshire District Council, aim to eliminate party politics from local governance and focus on community needs. This group, which includes former Conservative and Labour members, seeks to address local issues without the influence of national political agendas. They emphasize the importance of local decision-making, criticizing the current system where party whips often dictate votes. The group's formation was spurred by dissatisfaction with the Conservative Party's handling of local issues, particularly around planning and development. Their goal is to foster a more collaborative and community-focused approach to council decisions, ensuring that local voices are heard and prioritized.
