WHO WE ARE
The District Councils’ Network (DCN) is a cross-party member led network of 166 councils. We are a Special Interest Group of the Local Government Association (LGA), and provide a single voice for all district services within the Local Government Association.
District councils in England deliver 86 out of 137 essential local government services to over 19 million people – over a third of the population – and cover almost 50% of the country by area.
District councils have a proven track record of building better lives and stronger economies in the areas that they serve. Districts provide 30% of England’s GDP, with 34% of all businesses registered in our areas. This includes almost 50% of agricultural businesses. Districts protect and enhance quality of life by safeguarding our environment, promoting public health and leisure, whilst creating attractive places to live, raise families and build a stronger economy. By tackling homelessness and promoting wellbeing, district councils ensure no one gets left behind by addressing the complex needs of today whilst attempting to prevent the social problems of tomorrow.
