The national voice for counties

The County Councils Network is the voice of England’s counties. Representing the local authorities in county areas, the network is a cross-party organisation which develops policy, commissions research, and presents evidence-based solutions to issues on behalf of the largest grouping of councils in England.

In total, the 20 county councils and 17 unitary councils that make up the CCN represent 26 million residents, account for 39% of England’s GVA, and deliver high-quality services that matter the most to local communities.
