About our vision

Our Vision sets out the future we want for Somerset and the difference we want to make for the people who live, work and visit here.

It focuses on what matters most to our communities:

  • helping people have better life chances
  • supporting strong and connected communities
  • ensuring everyone has access to a safe and suitable home

The three missions, Opportunity, Connection and Homes, will guide our decisions, shape our services and strengthen our work with communities, partners and businesses. Together, they provide a clear focus for improving everyday life and delivering a fairer, better future for Somerset.

Our Corporate Plan

Somerset Council’s Corporate Plan explains how we will deliver our vision of A fairer, better future through our three missions.

While the vision sets our long-term direction, the Corporate Plan turns that ambition into action. It sets out the strategic priorities, actions and measures that will help us achieve our goals and track progress.
