Leicestershire County Council is the upper-tier local authority for the non-metropolitan county of Leicestershire, England. The non-metropolitan county is smaller than the ceremonial county, which additionally includes Leicester. The county council was originally formed in 1889 by the Local Government Act 1888.
Leicestershire is divided into seven local government districts. The administratively independent unitary authority of Leicester is also part of the ceremonial county. Subcategories
