Governance
The Parliamentary Constituency is Harborough which includes the town, surrounding rural areas as well as the urban areas of Oadby, Wigston and South Wigston, all southern suburbs of the city of Leicester to the north.
The District Council is Harborough District Council, with its offices in the town centre being the former Symingtons Corset Factory. The town itself is however an unparished area, with no town council of its own - the third least populated town of this sort.
The town is in the southern area of Leicestershire County Council close to the border with Northamptonshire.
