74 Flags

This #SomersetDay (Sun 11 May), Somerset Council will proudly fly the Somerset flag — as well as the Union Flag and St George’s Cross because we are proud to be British and English.

Love the smell of democracy in the morning

The Taxpayer’s Alliance has published this map claiming Somerset Council has 54 members of staff earning over £100,000 a year.

This was the position two years ago on day 1 of Somerset Council, with all the staff from the Districts and County Council coming together into the Unitary Council.

Gave evidence to the Housing, Communities & Local Government select committee on Funding & Sustainability of Local Government with Council leaders from around the country & different political colours with one message.

The current system of funding local government is broken.

As Somerset Council votes to set a council tax 2% above the cap, we wonder what happened to the Labour government’s commitment to fund a council tax freeze from
a windfall tax? @gideonamos.bsky.social @tessamunt.bsky.social @sarahdykeld.bsky.social @adamjamesdance.bsky.social

Wishing you all a peaceful and joyous Christmas

Greetings from Somerset where the skies are now golden rather than blue….
