Councils

Leicestershire has a 3-tier system of local government, consisting of the County Council, 7 Borough/District Councils, and Parish Councils. Leicester City Council is a separate authority.

This arrangement applies across the whole county except for the bigger towns where the Parish level does not exist, and the Borough/District takes on the work of the Parish Council.
