Episode Details

Hinckley in Leicestershire is establishing a new town council to fill a gap left by upcoming local government changes. The borough councils scrutiny commission recommended the move, which will be voted on by the full council next week. The new council will consist of twenty councillors representing four existing wards, with elections set for May 2027. This move is tied to larger reforms in April 2028, when the Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council will be scrapped. Some councillors raised concerns about the setup, but others argue that Hinckley needs its own voice for local issues. The commission endorsed the plans, keeping momentum alive for local control.
