Somerset County Council is a local government authority in the United Kingdom, operating within the government administration sector to manage and deliver public services for the Somerset region. It was established when five councils merged on 1 April 2023 to form a single Somerset Council, consolidating local governance under one body. Its primary audience comprises residents and local businesses in Somerset, with responsibility for governance and public services that affect daily life and community needs. In mid-2026, the council announced two accelerator programmes designed to help ambitious county businesses scale, reflecting an expanded role in supporting economic growth alongside traditional public services.
