Stanton under Bardon is a friendly, close-knit village in the heart of Leicestershire, just a mile from Junction 22 of the M1. Home to around 1,000 residents, the village offers a peaceful rural setting with plenty of local amenities, including a village shop, two churches, a pub, a primary school, and beautiful open spaces.

Our village has a long history with stone quarries—its name comes from the Latin ‘stan’ (stone) and ‘tun’ (village). Quarrying has been part of village life for over 200 years, and two major companies still operate nearby today.

 

Your Parish Council

Stanton-under-Bardon Parish Council is here to support the community. We look after important local spaces like the Village Hall, the recreational area behind the primary school, allotments, and the war memorial. We also represent residents’ voices to local authorities and work to make sure the village continues to thrive.

Our Council is made up of five local Councillors who live in the village and are passionate about making Stanton-under-Bardon an even better place to live. Everyone is welcome at our meetings to share ideas, ask questions, or simply find out more about what’s happening in the village.
