The Lancashire Combined County Authority brings people, plans and investment together to build a stronger, more connected county.

Our role is to lead and coordinate. Setting shared priorities for skills, transport and economic growth so that Lancashire’s residents and businesses can succeed. We work with local councils, employers, colleges and national partners to make sure decisions are joined up and focused on what matters most to our communities.

Guided by the Lancashire Growth Plan and supported by the county’s emerging strategies for skills and transport, we’re shaping the foundations of Lancashire’s future: good jobs, better connections and fair access to opportunity. 

Lancashire Growth Plan

The Lancashire Growth Plan sets out how the county will build a stronger, more connected and more confident economy.

Developed through the Lancashire Combined County Authority and shaped in partnership with the Lancashire Business Board, businesses, academia and local government, it focuses on five priority sectors and a series of transformational projects that will drive innovation, clean growth and regeneration.

The plan brings together work on skills, transport and investment to ensure growth benefits people and communities across Lancashire. 

Our areas of focus
