Background
History
The district was created on 1 April 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, covering the area of two former districts, which were both abolished at the same time: The government initially named the new district "Bosworth", corresponding to the Parliamentary Constituency covering the area. The shadow council elected to oversee the transition to the new system requested a change to "Hinckley and Bosworth", which was agreed by the government on 20 November 1973, before the new district formally came into being. The new district was awarded borough status from its creation, allowing the chair of the council to take the title of mayor.
