I explain Labour's changes to local government in Leicestershire

Tuesday, 21 July, 2026

One of the final acts of Keir Starmer's Government was to ride roughshod over our area... again.

Despite the overwhelming concerns raised throughout the consultation, Labour has chosen to press ahead with plans that will see Leicester City's boundaries vastly expanded into parts of Leicestershire.

While the boundary changes, fortunately, do not affect any towns, villages or parishes in the Hinckley and Bosworth constituency, the change to a unitary authority has forced Leicestershire and Rutland into a structure we have repeatedly said we do not want.

Local Conservative MPs, Council Leaders and I are working together to oppose this. You can read our statement here: https://www.drlukeevans.org.uk/news/Labour-Leicestershire-land-grab

I will update you as and when we have more information.
