REORGANISATION

Somerset districts in poll controversy

District leaders have struck back following criticism over an error in their reorganisation vote.

District councils in Somerset have struck back amid heavy criticism over a controversial poll on reorganisation.

Mendip, Sedgemoor, Somerset West and Taunton and South Somerset have commissioned a countywide vote on rival reorganisation proposals, but an error on the printed material sent to voters directed them to a spoof website mocking the county council's proposal for a single unitary instead of the genuine One Somerset website.
