This site has been developed by Lancashire County Council to help schools in teaching young people about how local government works in Lancashire and how it fits into how the Country is governed. The main purpose is to help teach those parts of Citizenship classes that deal with "political literacy". Download an animated introduction to the site here.

We hope that the website will spark your interest in what can be a complicated and potentially dry subject. It will be updated regularly to keep you up to date with any changes in local government and the latest news from Lancashire County Council.

We would welcome your comments on the site and your ideas for what other things it should include so let us know what you think by clicking on contact us.

We hope you find the site interesting and useful in your studies."
