Part 2: Local Democracy and Devolution CCAs and their areas Section 9: Combined county authorities and their areas Background
This is a new provision establishing a new form of local government institution – a combined county authority (CCA) – which can be established in, and will enable devolution to, areas with two-tier local government. This type of institution is different to a combined authority, which can be established under Part 6 of the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009, although has many similarities.
