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. ==External links== *[http://www.ashfield-dc.gov.uk Ashfield District Council] {{East_Midlands}} [[Category:Local government in Nottinghamshire]] [[Category:Shire districts]] {{Nottinghamshire}} {{Nottinghamshire-geo-stub}} [[de:Ashfield (District)]] [[it:Ashfield]] [[nl:Ashfield]] [[no:Ashfield]] [[ro:Ashfield]]
