Somerset Local Community Networks
LCNs are the 'voice' of our communities. They're about engagement and improving outcomes for residents
through establishing strong connections between Somerset Council, our communities, businesses and our partners.
There will be 18 LCNs rolled-out, covering every corner of the new local authority area.

What we’re planning for Summer ’23
This summer, 18 LCNs will be rolled-out across Somerset. The LCN Team, working with ICT and Democratic Services colleagues, are busy making the arrangements. We’ve been talking to Members, plus our City, Town and Parish Clerks and our key stakeholders to ensure they are supported and ready for the inaugural meetings, which kick-off from June onwards.
