'''Ashfield''' is a [[Non-metropolitan district|local government district]] in western [[Nottinghamshire]], [[England]]. According to the [[United Kingdom Census 2001|2001 UK census]], it has a population of 111,387. The borough is mostly urban, with a tradition of [[coal mining]]. There are three towns in the district; the largest being [[Sutton-in-Ashfield]]. Settlements in the district include:
:[[Annesley]], [[Annesley Woodhouse]]
:[[Felley]]
:[[Hucknall]], [[Huthwaite]]
:[[Jacksdale]]
:[[Kirkby-in-Ashfield]]
:[[Selston]], [[Stanton Hill]], [[Sutton-in-Ashfield]]
:[[Teversal]]
:[[Underwood, Nottinghamshire|Underwood]]
The district was formed on [[April 1]], [[1974]], under the [[Local Government Act 1972]], by the merger of urban districts of [[Hucknall Urban District|Hucknall]], [[Kirkby-in-Ashfield]], and [[Sutton-in-Ashfield]] and parts of [[Basford Rural District]] namely the parishes of [[Annesley]], [[Felley]] and [[Selston]].
In the Spring of 1986, all departments, except for Direct Works, moved into purpose built office accommodation in the centre of Kirkby-in-Ashfield. These offices provide civic accommodation for members, together with a Council Chamber and two Committee Rooms.
District Offices have been maintained at Watnall Road, Hucknall, and Fox Street, Sutton-in-Ashfield, to cater for housing matters and cash receipts on a local basis.
