Welcome to Earl Shilton
Earl Shilton Town Council
Earl Shilton Town Council is the parish authority for the town of Earl Shilton and is made up of 14 elected or co-opted, unpaid volunteers. It is the third tier of local government after Leicestershire County Council and Hinckley and Bosworth District Council. The council has regular meetings to decide on how to budget and spend public money and to ensure that it is spent where it is most needed. Members of the public are welcome to attend meetings or to contact the office. As a Town Council our responsibilities are limited to parks, cemeteries and a few other things, but we do our best to help residents with any issues they may have relating to Earl Shilton.
