Jason Zadrozny

[citation needed] In March 2007, standing as a Liberal Democrat, Zadrozny won a by-election to Nottinghamshire County Council in the Sutton-in-Ashfield North division, with a 44% swing to his party and a 60% increase in the vote share.

[1] Two months later, also in Sutton-in-Ashfield North, he won a seat on Ashfield District Council, and the Liberal Democrats became the largest party.

In that role, he promoted Community Asset Transfers of two local buildings, the Acacia Centre in Annesley and the Manor Rooms in Teversal.

[2] His administration launched proposals for a Neighbourhood Charter of environmental pledges and the creation of new community protection services.

[citation needed] In 2015, following his suspension as a member of the Liberal Democrats, Zadrozny left the party and was elected as an Independent for a newly created district council ward, Larwood.

He announced his candidacy to highlight his belief that he was victim of a politically motivated attack, relating to his arrest and questioning over child sex allegations, charges which were subsequently dropped.

[citation needed] In the Sutton Junction and Harlow Wood by-election of December 2018, his party won again, with 82% of the votes.

His policies include the construction of a new leisure centre with swimming pools for Kirkby-in-Ashfield,[9] restoration of the town clock[10] and community spring clean events.
