The District Councils’ Network (DCN) is a cross-party network of 169 district and unitary councils. We are a special interest group of the Local Government Association, providing a single voice for all district services. Our member councils’ services support more than 21 million people and cover 60% of England by area. With local government reorganisation underway, DCN is at the centre of the debate about how councils should evolve, urging that new unitary authorities are close to communities. We’re eager to ensure reorganisation enhances local democracy, is supported by local people and contributes to wider local public service reform.
