Our first consultation on how communities are represented by town and parish councils closes on Saturday 7 February.
This review could lead to changes such as:
Creating a Coalville Town Council and a Thringstone Parish Council
Adjusting boundaries or names of existing councils
Considering mergers or changes to ward arrangements.

Next steps
There are two consultation phases to this review.
At the moment, we are welcoming your ideas about how parished and unparished area could change for the better.
Then, over the summer next year, we’ll ask for your views on a set of draft recommendations for each area.
Any changes made as a result of this review will be made at the elections in May 2027.
Thank you for giving your feedback to help improve your community.
