Harborough District Council
Key Competitive Attractions
Covering 230 square miles, Harborough District is by far the largest of the eight district authorities in Leicestershire and covers almost a quarter of the County. With a diverse and highly-skilled workforce, beautiful surroundings and low crime rates, Harborough offers a high standard of living, with low costs.
The area has excellent transport links, with access to three national transport routes - the M1 motorway, the Midland Mainline railway and the A14 East West national trunk road. The new, non-stop rail services to St. Pancras International only take 55 minutes and the Eurostar services from St. Pancras mean that Harborough is in a strategic position for European markets.
