We’re investing in the Beehive Lane multistorey car park in Loughborough. 🚗

Work is due to start on replacing the lifts next week 🔧 and we will also be revamping the stairwells, resurfacing the top floor, and adding more electric vehicle charging points

This is a key investment of £750,000 to support our local economy and town centre businesses

It does mean there will be some disruption and the lifts will not be available for several months, from Monday 22 June.

We are reserving the whole of the ground floor for disabled and parent and child parking plus there will be some EV charging bays.

We apologise for the inconvenience but it is necessary to complete the work.

Tonight’s the night many of you have been waiting for. If you’re planning to watch the England game tonight at a bar or a friends’ house, don’t forget to factor in how you’re getting home safe- especially if you’re planning on drinking. Always keep your belongings with you, including your drink.

Look out for one another and enjoy the night. ⚽

This Saturday, as part of Drowning Prevention Week, we'll be holding a water safety event at Watermead Country Park, in association with the local Parkrun.

Each year, hundreds of people in the UK accidentally drown, with the summer seeing the highest occurrence of these preventable tragedies. More than half of them happen inland, not on the coast or out at sea.

Come along to our event, and meet guests from the RNLI, the Royal Life Saving Society, Swim England and other groups, to learn the do's and don'ts of water safety this Saturday 20th June, from 8:30 to 11am.

Councillors have approved plans to create a town council for Loughborough and a parish council for Broadnook.

Charnwood borough councillors agreed to establish the two new councils at a meeting on Monday, 15 June 2026, following two community governance reviews.

The statutory reviews included two rounds of consultation which showed support for the proposals.

A town council for Loughborough would have 25 councillors and be based on existing Charnwood Borough Council ward boundaries. It will be called a parish council in the first instance, but once formed, it is expected that the name will be changed to a town council.

Broadnook Village Council will have 12 councillors. It will not have wards and means the boundaries for the parishes of Rothley, Wanlip, and Thurcaston and Cropston will be changed.
