Welcome to Stanton-under-Bardon Parish Council Website

Stanton-under-Bardon is a rural village located in the heart of Leicestershire, just a mile from Junction 22 of the M1. With a close-knit community of around 1,000 residents, the village offers a peaceful setting along with local conveniences, including a village shop, two churches, a pub, and a primary school. The village's name, derived from the Latin words ‘stan’ (stone) and ‘tun’ (village), reflects its long-standing connection to local stone quarries, which have provided employment for over two centuries. Today, two major companies continue to operate quarries near the village.

Stanton-under-Bardon Parish Council is dedicated to providing essential public services to our community. We manage important local assets, including the Village Hall, the large recreational area behind the primary school, two allotment sites, and the war memorial. Beyond this, the Parish Council serves as a voice for residents, representing their views and concerns to higher authorities such as Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council, Leicestershire County Council, and the Leicestershire Police & Crime Commissioner.

The Parish Council offices are situated in the Village Hall on St John Cole Crescent. The Council comprises of 5 local Councillors who are elected to represent the Parish. Councillors are residents who live locally and who are passionate about making Stanton under Bardon a great place to live. Any resident is warmly welcomed to our regular Parish Council meetings to talk to us about any concerns that they may have.
