It consists of the villages of Cottam, Grove, Headon cum Upton, Rampton, Stokeham, South Leverton and Treswell.

The ward elects one councillor every four years. Prior to 2015, Bassetlaw District Council was elected by thirds with elections taking place every year except the year in which elections to Nottinghamshire County Council took place.[3]
