Stronger Somerset? or One Somerset ?
In your council tax bills you will have had a flyer telling you about the Government’s wish to have two tiers of local Government.
Currently in Somerset we have three tiers:
- Somerset County Council,
- South Somerset District Council
- Castle Cary Town Council/Ansford Parish Council.
You can see the present roles for the Councils here:

There are two suggestions on the table & you are being invited to have your say by April 19th.
- Stronger Somerset. This sets out the case for South Somerset & Mendip District Councils to work together in the east of the County. Details are here:

- One Somerset. This is the case for a Unitary authority. Details can be found here:
