AGAINST A REFERENDUM: Yeovil MP, Marcus Fysh
SOUTH Somerset MP Marcus Fysh has entered the debate over a 'referendum' on the future of local government in the county.
The county's four district councils - South Somerset, Mendip, Somerset West and Taunton and Sedgemoor - plan to run a vote on plans to cut the number of councils.
There are currently two proposals for how local government in the county could look.
A Somerset County Council plan - One Somerset - would a see the four districts and the county council replaced with a single authority.
A rival proposal from the four districts would see two councils created to replace the current five.
