Residents for Uttlesford's two county councillors have joined Essex County Council's official opposition group.
Councillors Paul Gadd and Mike Foley, representing Saffron Walden and Thaxted, formed an alliance with eight other independent and small party councillors bidding for a stronger say in decision-making at County Hall.
With 10 members, the Non-Aligned Group is the largest opposition group against the council's Conservative leadership.
The group will be led by Cllr Chris Pond from the Loughton Residents Association.
He said: "We seek to represent local residents in all of our seats."
