Governance

Most local government functions are performed by Rushcliffe Borough Council. The borough election results on 7 May 2015 confirmed Conservative control. Scarrington lies in Bingham East ward, which is represented by George Davidson (Independent). Scarrington's population qualifies it only for a twice-yearly Parish Meeting, not a Parish Council.
