Somerset’s Sustainable Community Strategy gives a vision of Somerset over the next 17 years, right up until 2026.
Considerable research, consultations, discussions and reviews influenced the development of the Strategy and ensured that it reflects the needs and opinions of individuals, communities and business partners across Somerset.
