What is a Combined County Authority?
A Combined County Authority is where a group of councils work together across a larger area. The Lancashire Combined County Authority has been created by Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council, Blackpool Council and Lancashire County Council.
The Lancashire Combined County Authority is a legally recognised, single body.
Our role is to use some of the money and powers, that up to now have been held by central government, and work with local leaders and communities to invest in ways that will help to make Lancashire a better place for you to live, work and do business.
