About Us

The role of the Parish Council is to make Harborough Magna a safe and pleasant environment to live, work and play. Our duties are to ensure the views of residents are reflected in wider decisions, particularly planning and seek to improve both the built and green environment.  We also manage the village playpark and are responsible for street lighting.

Our Parish Council comprises five councillors, each of whom volunteer to serve the community of Harborough Magna.    We meet roughly every six weeks on a Monday evening.

The next election to stand as a parish councillor is in May 2024.
