County Councils Network
The County Councils Network is a special interest group within the Local Government Association. Its 37 members are all 27 English county councils and 10 unitary authority councils.[1] The network is the national voice for counties, and has recently released a significant report on county economies from Oxford Economics, and another report containing ambitious policy proposals, calling for a 'new deal' from government.
The County Councils Network works on a cross-party basis, with members of its management committee drawn from all three major parties. The current Chairman of the County Councils Network is Cllr Paul Carter, leader of Kent County Council. It campaigns on funding inequalities for counties, issues surrounding social care and children's services, and on devolution to rural areas, as well as other local government-related topics. The County Councils Network shares offices with the Local Government Association in Westminster.
