Have your say on controversial plans to create unitary council in Somerset
Somerset County Council has appealed to residents and businesses to get behind its controversial plans for a new model of local government which it claims would offer improved public services for all.
It comes as the Government has this week started a public consultation into changing the way local councils work in Somerset.
Four options are on the table: a system featuring an Eastern Somerset council and Western Somerset council (known as ‘Stronger Somerset’); a single council covering the whole of the country (‘One Somerset’); no change; or greater collaboration between existing councils.
