Midsomer Town Council's finance meeting has agreed to join the lobbying group, the Rural Town Group. The RTG works at raising the profile of traditional market towns which are, the meeting was told, often overlooked by policy makers. Wells, although it is city, is already a member of the organisation.Councillors agreed to join the group, at an annual cost of £110 a year, but only on a trial basis. The RTG already has 44 members, but wants to triple the number of market towns it represents to over 120.

It meets twice a year. Cllr Brian Lawrence told Midsomer councillors : " Perhaps it will work for us. If we do not feel that we are getting what we pay for then we could stop."
