Everyone is aware of the impact of climate change on the county and of the importance of reducing and managing its effects. They use less energy and are proud of our local production. People walk and cycle more and take public and community transport whenever they can. Homes are of good quality, affordable and sustainable. Residents can reach jobs, shops, schools and medical care easily as new communities are planned in a way that reduces the need to travel. Transport, roads and new technology links are effective. Communities work well together, are forward looking and known for their self-reliance. Somerset’s countryside is treasured and valued for what it adds to the quality of people’s lives.
