Welcome to our NEW website
Launched in time for our 10th Birthday on 18 May 2021!
We hope you like the changes we’ve made and the improved accessibility features that are now available (as required by law).
There will be more changes coming in future as we develop the website. If you have any suggestions you would like to make (or are looking for something you can’t find) please contact the Community Office. We are also happy to expand our display of photographs of Whitwick during the year – if you have a shot of a special place you love or seasonal photos of parish council land please do email it or pop a copy through our letter box. Thank you.
