Hugglescote and Donington le Heath Parish Council was set up to provide a strong, independent voice for the parish.
Following a campaign by local people, the District Council carried out a community governance review and made an Order on 12 May 2010 to set up the new parish Council.
Hugglescote and Donington le Heath Parish Council held its Inaugural Meeting on 19 May 2011.
The Parish has an electorate of 3466 (in 2011) and stretches from the Forest Road railway bridge in the north; the A447 in the west; the old railway bridge at the junction of Station Road and Midland Road, Ellistown in the south and the Birch Tree traffic island in the east. It borders on to the existing Ellistown and Battleflat and Ravenstone with Snibston Parish Councils and the unparished areas of Coalville.
