Prime Minister's Office

More details from petition creator

Somerset County Council proposes to create a single unitary authority in the county. This "super-size" council would be one of the largest local authorities in England with thousands and thousands of citizens for each councillor. The County Council's proposals would be bad for local democracy, bad for local services and bad for the local economy.
