About

The Full Council is a meeting attended by all 110 councillors of Somerset Council, typically held six times a year. Its primary role is to establish the council's overall policy direction and agree the annual budget and Council Tax.

This body approves the council's constitution, appoints the Leader and key roles like the Chief Executive, and oversees committees. It also handles specific functions that cannot be delegated to the Executive, such as regulatory matters.
