How do you imagine the future of your town?

Midsomer Norton is an extraordinary place. From its roots as a medieval market town to its vital role at the heart of the Somerset coalfield in the nineteenth century, it has offered a place for people to meet, trade, relax and celebrate for over a thousand years. Today, it provides independent retail and leisure offerings against the backdrop of the River Somer and the remarkable natural landscapes of the Somer Valley.

Like many small towns in the UK, Midsomer Norton is facing a period of significant change brought about by shifts in the way people do their shopping, and by local housing growth. It’s vital that we harness these opportunities for growth and change to ensure the town thrives for the next one thousand years.

Bath & North East Somerset Council and Midsomer Norton Town Council are working with Allies & Morrison LLP, local stakeholders, businesses and residents to develop a new Town Centre Plan. The plan aims to provide a route map to a more vibrant and welcoming town centre for everyone.
