Resident steering group
Our Resident Steering Group is made up of a number of Somerton tenants, homeowners and representatives, including local Councillors.
We meet on a monthly basis either virtually or in person, depending on current restrictions.
Our meetings normally take place on the first Wednesday of every month.
You can see our COVID-19 risk assessment here.
