Whitwick Parish Council
Whitwick Parish Council have been busy over the past year from hosting events, reporting issues to Leicestershire County Council and North West Leicestershire District Council and introducing new schemes to Whitwick.
The introduction of Market Place’s Post Box Topper was a huge success. The amazing Sue and Janet crocheted designs for many occasions such as Easter, Remembrance Sunday and Christmas.
Whitwick Parish Council was joined by other groups who all helped to plan and host the celebration event at The City of Dan for VE80 Day, it was a fantastic success for all who attended.
The office staff were joined by volunteers during the Love Your Neighbourhood Week, where we collected over 30 bags of litter from around the village.
The summer and winter planter scheme was introduced this year, the lovely comments from all the Parishioners were very positive and the Parish hopes to expand on this scheme further for 2026.
The annual Remembrance Parade in Whitwick took place on Sunday 9th November 2025. We hope to have an even bigger turn out next year! SAVE THE DATE SUNDAY 8TH NOVEMBER 2026.
The Christmas lights expansion was another achievement this year, with the hopes of making it even bigger next Christmas, again the feedback has been wonderful and we really hope you have all enjoyed the lights.
The Parish Council has a Community Notice Board in Market Place (behind the Post Box) that you can use to publicise your Whitwick community group or local event. You can also send details to the Community Office – by email, post or pop it in the letterbox. If people ask us for information like this we will be able to let them know.
The 2021 Census showed the population as 8,229.
