East Midlands Councils is a member owned and led organisation consisting of the 40 local authorities in the Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire and Rutland areas.

We are also a Regional Employers’ Organisation, representing the interests of employers of local government staff.

We provide regional leadership on asylum and refugee resettlement, workforce issues, supporting the leading role of councils on Midlands Connect and the Midlands Engine and work with DfT on the East Midlands Rail Franchise process, all of which provides huge benefits to local authorities.
