Have your say on the future of a Hinckley Town Council 

Published Wednesday, 20 August 2025

Local residents are being urged to have their say on the future of local representation in Hinckley. 

Following government proposals to reform local and regional governance as outlined in the English Devolution White Paper the current two-tier system of district and county councils may be replaced by single-level unitary authorities. In response, the Borough Council is carrying out a Community Governance Review (CGR) to look at how communities are represented at the most local level: through town and parish councils. 
  
The CGR aims to ensure that the structure and boundaries of local councils reflect the needs and identities of the communities they serve. Residents’ feedback will be crucial in helping the council make informed recommendations for potential changes. 
  
Council Leader, Councillor Stuart Bray said:

This is a real opportunity for residents to help shape how their community is represented. We want to make sure that local voices continue to be heard and that services are delivered effectively. I strongly encourage everyone to get involved and complete the survey — your views matter.

The survey is now live and open to all residents, businesses and organisations to take part in. To take part and learn more about the review
