Our Work
We are a cross-party network, providing a single national voice for our district and unitary member councils
The DCN delivers value for our members by:
-
- supporting our councils and being advocates for the work they do and the challenges they face
- facilitating collaboration, networking and access to information across all our councils
- influencing central government and the outside world to deliver the right national policy and funding framework for our councils to deliver the best possible services to residents
- producing evidence-based research on the key issues facing our councils and wider local government
Strategic Priorities
DCN has four strategic priorities which are the basis for our lobbying and research work
