The Organisation

Melton is a local government borough in north-eastern Leicestershire, England. It is named after its main town, Melton Mowbray.

The main activities of the Borough are centred on the single market town of Melton Mowbray which has a population of about 26,000. There are some 70 small villages within the surrounding rural area and the area of the Borough is 48,138ha.

The population of the Borough at 2011 was over 50,000 and has risen significantly since.
