The borough of Hinckley & Bosworth covers the southwest corner of Leicestershire, located in the centre of England between Leicester, Birmingham and Coventry.

The borough has a strong manufacturing economy, with Hinckley housing the main administrative services and providing the principal shopping centre and leisure amenities. Much of the borough - particularly the centre and the west - is rural, and includes the historic market town of Market Bosworth.

Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council serves approximately 100 000 inhabitants over 16 wards with 34 elected councillors and is one of 7 district (or borough) councils in Leicestershire which operate within a two tier system of authorities where responsibilities are divided between the district council and Leicestershire County Council. The Borough Council administers a full range of district council duties, but works in partnership with many other agencies.
