I believe the answer is:

acclaim

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'approval' is the definition.
(acclaim is a kind of approval)

'a county council shifting mail' is the wordplay.
'county council' becomes 'cc' (this might be a standard abbreviation I've not previously seen).
'shifting' indicates an anagram.
'mail' with letters rearranged gives 'laim'.
'a'+'cc'+'laim'='ACCLAIM'

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for acclaim that I've seen before include "Laud" , "Enthusiastic and public praise" , "Declare" , "Welcome with shouts of approval" , "Salute, applaud" .)
