The Conservative Councillors' Association (CCA) exists to provide a strong and unified voice for all Conservative councillors within the Conservative Party and in the wider community. The CCA supports councillors in their important role and provides them with the tools to both work effectively on behalf of local residents and to campaign successfully as Conservatives.
With over 4000 Councillors, we must have credibility and this can only be achieved if councillors back the CCA by joining us. With close to 100% membership rates, we have a strong and clear voice, championing the interests of our councillors within the Party structure.
Who runs the CCA?
We're an independently run organisation managed by the CCA Board, the board is elected annually by members of the CCA.
The CCA employs three members of staff to administer the Association. Members of the CCA can contact the team at any time for research, policy queries, campaign support or legal advice.
Who can become a CCA member?
Any Conservative Party member can join the CCA. Elected Conservative councillors are required to be Full Members of the Conservative Councillors' Association.
Council candidates, Parish/Town Councillors and members of the Conservative Party who have an interest in local government may also join the CCA as Associate, Associate Plus or Candidate Members.
The annual subscription for Full Membership fixed by the AGM of the CCA and for 2025/26 this has been set at £35.00 per annum.
The membership year runs from June 1st to May 31st.
