LCCA

Lancashire Combined County Authority (LCCA)

A single voice for growth, investment and delivery

The Lancashire Combined County Authority (LCCA) brings together Blackburn with Darwen Council, Blackpool Council and Lancashire County Council into one legally recognised organisation, working at scale to unlock the county’s full economic potential.

By aligning leadership, funding and decision-making, the LCCA provides a clear and consistent route for investors to engage with Lancashire, cutting through complexity and accelerating delivery.

Driving economic growth across Lancashire

The LCCA has been established to take on powers and funding that were previously held by central government, enabling local leaders to direct investment where it will have the greatest impact.

Its focus is on:

• Regeneration at scale – unlocking major development opportunities across towns and cities
• Business growth and innovation – supporting sectors such as low carbon, energy and cyber
• Skills and workforce development – ensuring people have the capabilities businesses need
• Coordinated investment – bringing together funding, infrastructure and delivery partners

For investors, this means faster decision-making, stronger local insight and a more joined-up approach to growth.

Business-led, partnership focused

The LCCA works closely with the Lancashire Business Board and wider partners to ensure investment is shaped by real market insight and opportunity.

This collaboration strengthens Lancashire’s offer, connecting public investment, private sector ambition and local delivery capability.
