About us
We serve the people, communities and businesses of Leicester, the biggest city in the East Midlands. We are a unitary authority, which means we take responsibility for many of the major decisions which affect people’s lives. This includes decisions around schools, roads and setting council tax.
How we work
We work to a constitution which sets out the basic principles of how we operate, what decisions can be made, and by who.
We hold council meetings and community meetings which are open to the public, and we hold consultations about our important decisions where appropriate.
Our staff
We are Leicester’s biggest employer with more than 15,000 staff, who are responsible for delivering services to a diverse range of customers.
