You may have heard that Somerset Council has declared a “Financial Emergency” and are therefore looking at all the services they provide to see where they can save money.
Bill Revans, Leader of Somerset Council, has written to all Town and Parish Councils listing all those services which they think may be affected. His letter is below.
You may have ideas and suggestions about a way forward. We would welcome your thoughts either by e-mail (scwg@netherstowey-pc.gov.uk) or again, by visiting our Parish Council office for a chat (preferably by appointment please). Or maybe you feel that you would like to join our working group which will be looking at what we may be able to take on and the implications for the Parish precept?
