Somerset Council

The structure of local government varies from area to area. In most of England, there are still 2 tiers of local government – county and district – with responsibility for council services split between them. From 1 April 2023 Somerset became a single unitary authority and the former 5 councils—Sedgemoor, Mendip, Somerset West and Taunton, and South Somerset—were abolished. Since 1 April 2023 Somerset Council is responsible for all the services previously delivered by the separate authorities, including Education, Social Services, Waste Disposal, Planning, Highways and Licencing, etc.
