Wessex includes parts, or all, of Bournemouth Borough Council, Dorset County Council,
Hampshire County Council, Poole Borough Council, Somerset County Council, Wiltshire
Council, Gloucestershire County Council, Bath & North East Somerset Council, Bristol
City Council, North Somerset Council and South Gloucestershire Council.</p><p> </p><p><strong>
