Loughborough Gets New Town Council

Loughborough is finally getting its own town council, approved after public input, alongside a new parish council for Broadnook — a massive new village north of Leicester set to house over 2,000 homes. This comes as Charnwood Borough Council dissolves amid Leicestershire’s local government overhaul, aiming to empower communities with more local control. With a $50K budget for setup, 25 councillors for Loughborough and 12 for Broadnook, both councils will launch by April 2027, handling everything from parks to streetlights — and even local festivals — while nearby parishes like Rothley and Wanlip adjust their boundaries.
