The Lancashire Combined County Authority (CCA) has been set up to transfer powers from central government to local decision-makers in Lancashire.

It provides a single body for the whole of the county to champion its interests, deliver on local priorities and provide greater local accountability.

The CCA aims to address key priorities such as improving public transport, boosting economic prosperity, and enhancing employment and skills.

It will also tackle historically low investment in the area and support accelerated growth.

A thriving Lancashire is essential for  the North of England to have a successful economy. With a population of 1.53 million residents and a GVA of £40 billion, Lancashire already makes a significant contribution and holds enormous potential for the future.

In partnership with business and public service providers, the CCA will ensure Lancashire has a stronger voice on the regional and national stage, ensuring greater benefit from funding and other opportunities.
