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.

Read on, and discover more about LCNs, our pilots, special events and background information.
