Council Controlled Organisations

A Council Controlled Organisation is an organisation in which a local authority or local authorities control 50 per cent or more of the voting rights or appoint 50 per cent or more of the directors.

Council Controlled organisations are governed by their boards of directors or trustees and operate at arm's length from the council.

CCOs are, however, accountable to the council, which determines the objectives for each CCO and monitors their performance. The council, in turn, is accountable to its ratepayers and residents for the performance of the CCOs.
