A West Country council has become the second in England to declare a cost of living emergency.
Mendip District Councillors voted through the motion on Monday evening.
It means the Liberal Democrat-run authority will write to the government asking for more action and organise a conference with support organisations.
Eastbourne in East Sussex became the first council in the country to declare a cost of living emergency earlier in the month.
