CCN Policy Essentials 2026: Economic Growth and Devolution

Our updated series of Policy Essentials, refreshed for 2026, aims to give county and unitary councillors a short and concise overview of the most important policy issues facing their councils. This includes an overview of the key service responsibilities of councils; why this particular policy is a priority for us, key developments in the national policy landscape in this area, and our own advocacy and research.

This Policy Essentials document is focused on economic growth and devolution policy, with a focus on county areas.
