Countdown to your next Somerset Council Election Day

Somerset Council Electoral Boundary Changes 2027.

Following the Boundary Commission’s final recommendations for Somerset, the proposed new Somerset Council electoral division containing Bishop’s Hull will have a smaller population but a larger land area. The existing division, known as Bishop’s Hull & Taunton West, is currently represented by two elected Somerset Councillors and has an electorate of approximately 8900 voters. It covers a predominantly urban area stretching from Rumwell in the west to Taunton town centre in the east.

Coming into effect on election day (Thursday, 6 May 2027), the new division will be named Bishop’s Hull & Oake and will be represented by a single elected Somerset Councillor. It will consist of an estimated electorate of 4,758 (projected for 2030). The new division will cover a mainly rural area extending from the parish of Langford Budville in the west to Bishop’s Hull in the east.

The five Parish Councils making up the new division, along with their estimated electorates, are:

• Bishop’s Hull – 2,815
• Oake – 632
• Bradford-on-Tone – 526
• Langford Budville – 442
• Nynehead – 343
