This initiative, outlined in Somerset Council and Homes in Somerset’s new housing development strategy, builds on recent successes like the 54-home Rainbow Way project in Minehead and eight new flats at the Oxford Inn site in Taunton. However, despite this ambitious plan, the distribution of new council homes is uneven across the county.
