The County Councils Network is the voice of England’s counties. A cross-party organisation, CCN develops policy, commissions research, and presents evidence-based solutions nationally on behalf of the largest grouping of local authorities in England.

In total, the 26 county councils and 10 unitary councils that make up the CCN represent 26 million residents, account for 41% of England’s GVA, and deliver high-quality services that matter the most to local communities.
