Crisis talks have been held over the future of West Somerset Council. It's the smallest local authority in England and leaders believe it can no longer afford to stand alone.
Members have been discussing ways of ensuring its survival. Richard Lawrence has been at the meeting in Williton.
Councillors in West Somerset meet this afternoon to discuss the authority's financial future, amid warnings it could go bust. They will consider whether to collaborate with neighbouring councils or simply commission all services from other bodies.
