The elections in 2011, 2015, 2019 and 2023 had insufficient candidates and consequently the candidates were elected without contest. The vacant seats were authorised to be filled by co-option.

Numbers 9 and 11 Woburn Road are in the parish of Aspley Heath but the newly built 15 Woburn Road together with the property Henry V11 Lodge are geographically in the parish of Aspley Guise. Consideration should be given to rectify this anomaly.
