The SSP is made up of representatives from more than 20 organisations and we all work together to achieve a better, "greener" and more equal Somerset - one that meets the aspirations of local people.
Our Vision for Somerset - Imagine Somerset in 2026
Our overall vision is of a dynamic, successful and modern economy that supports, respects and develops Somerset's distinctive communities and unique environment.
The county for us represents a balanced, sustainable heritage - a legacy that makes Somerset a landscape for the future.
Across Somerset, there are communities and individuals who do not have the same quality of life, job prospects or life expectancy as others might. People living in rural communities can find it more difficult to gain the services they need.
Endeavouring to "narrow the gap" has emerged as really important in Somerset and features strongly in the new Sustainable Community Strategy (see Latest News on the right of this page).
