​Cllr Mark Keating

Somerset County Council

As a County Councillor elected in the Coker Division of Somerset County Council I am proud of my excellent meeting attendance record and the positive outcomes I have worked for across my patch. I am busy on a daily basis working on a wide range of issues for local people. Quite often I will be on the phone speaking with residents or Officers or on site discussing highway related schemes or maintenance issues. Several days a month I will be at County Hall​ in Taunton, where as an Elected Member I will be taking part in debate and voting on the business of the Council. I also sit on the Council's Scrutiny Policies & Place Committee, Regulation Committee, and as the County's voting member on The Somerset Schools Forum. If you would like to discuss any aspect of Local Government in Somerset or local matters that concern you in our County, please get in touch with me, I am never too busy to speak  read more >>
