We’re proud that district councils across the country are changing lives and shaping places for the better. We’re stepping beyond the expected - from building a hospital to save vital health services, to achieving the highest national recycling rates, to regenerating towns and cities and much more.

District councils are showing that being close to the people means that the services delivered locally are the ones that count to the people who really count.

The District Councils’ Network is a member led network of around 182 district councils. We are a Special Interest Group of the Local Government Association (LGA), and provide a single voice for district councils within the LGA.

We also act as an informed and representative advocate for districts to government and other national bodies, based on our unique position to deliver for ‘local’ people.
