# Somerset West and Taunton

Somerset West and Taunton was a local government district in Somerset, England, from 2019 to 2023. It was established on 1 April 2019 by the Somerset West and Taunton (Local Government Changes) Order 2018. The council replaced the Taunton Deane and West Somerset councils, which governed the same area from 1974.
On 1 April 2023, the district was abolished and replaced by Somerset unitary district for the area previously served by Somerset County Council.

## Background

In September 2016, West Somerset and Taunton Deane councils agreed in principle to merge the districts into a single one, subject to consultation. The new district was not a unitary authority, with Somerset County Council still performing its functions at county level. In March 2018 both councils voted in favour of the merger and it came into effect on 1 April 2019, with the first elections to the new council in May 2019.
The new council was approved by James Brokenshire the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government on 30 May 2018. The merger was expected to save £3.1 million each year.
West Somerset covered a largely rural area, with a population of 35,300 in an area of 740 square kilometres (290 sq mi); it was the least populous non-unitary district in England. According to figures released by the Office for National Statistics in 2009, the population of West Somerset has the oldest average age in the United Kingdom at 52. The largest centres of population were the coastal towns of Minehead (population 10,000) and Watchet (4,400).
Taunton Deane was based in Taunton. Taunton Deane had an estimated population of 102,600 in 2001.

## Governance

A shadow authority was created in 2018 to oversee the transition to the new council, comprising all the councillors from the two outgoing councils. The Conservatives held a majority of the seats on the shadow authority, which was led by John Williams, the last leader of Taunton Deane Borough Council. The first elections to the new council were held on 2 May 2019, which saw the Liberal Democrats win a majority of the seats. John Williams was unsuccessful in securing a seat on the new council.
Liberal Democrat councillor Federica Smith-Roberts was subsequently appointed as the leader of the council on 22 May 2019. She remained the leader until the council's abolition in 2023.

### Premises

Full council meetings were held at Deane House on Belvedere Road in Taunton, which had previously been the headquarters of Taunton Deane Borough Council. The council's administrative offices were split between Deane House and the former West Somerset District Council headquarters at West Somerset House in Williton.

## Abolition

On 1 April 2023, the council was abolished and its functions passed to Somerset County Council, which was renamed Somerset Council on the same day, becoming a unitary authority. Elections for the new council took place in May 2022, and it ran alongside the other councils until their abolition in April 2023.

# Juan de Villanueva

Juan de Villanueva (September 15, 1739 in Madrid – August 22, 1811) was a Spanish architect. Alongside Ventura Rodríguez, Villanueva is the best known architect of Spanish Neoclassicism.

## Biography

His father was the sculptor Juan de Villanueva and his brother, Diego de Villanueva was not only his protector, but also his teacher.
He entered the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando as a pupil when he was eleven years old. In 1758, he travelled to Rome to become a grant holder of the Academy to complete his studies. In 1765, he returned to Spain.
A year later, he travelled through Córdoba and Granada, where he, together with José de Hermosilla, went to draw the "Arab antiquities." The drawings from these travels were published in 1804. He settled in Madrid, where he was appointed Academic of the Academy of San Fernando.
In 1777, Charles III appointed him Architect of the Prince and the Infants. From then to the end of his life he would work almost exclusively for the Royal House. In 1781, he was appointed Architect of the Royal Monastery of El Escorial, and Charles IV appointed him Major Architect. He was going to construct several pavilions for the royal disposal: in 1771, he built the Casa de Infantes at the Royal Palace of Aranjuez; in 1772, the Casita del Príncipe, at El Pardo; in 1773, the Casita del Infante (with a Palladian scheme and a notable plasticity in the treatment for the main portal) and the Casita del Príncipe, both in El Escorial, where he also constructed the Casas de Oficios, a group of houses, according to the sober Herrerian style of the Monastery.
Nevertheless, his undisputed masterpiece is the Prado Museum, projected in 1785 and 1787. It was constructed as a Museum of Natural History, a School of Natural History, and an auditorium for conferences and lectures. It was transformed into the Museum of Art in 1814, and today it is also known as Edificio Villanueva.
He was a prolific architect and he displayed the majority of his work in Madrid: buildings like the Academy of History, the Oratory of the Caballero de Gracia, the Royal Observatory of Madrid are remarkable. With his interventions in the Plaza Mayor, both after the fire of 1790 and in the Major House among others, he collaborated in the renovation of the image of the city. He was buried in St Sebastian's Church, Madrid.
With his personal style and with his strong local influences, he was the architect who best brought the theorical basis of European Neoclassicism to Spain.
