BPC is made up of 8 Councillors, however there is currently 4 vacancies), who are best placed to engage with residents and find out what the real local issues are and how to overcome them.
Examples of the work of BPC includes:

- Liaising with Somerset Council regarding road safety and highways, environmental concerns, planning policy, and other matters that are the responsibility of Butleigh’s unitary authority.
