Premier Division

The Premier Division was reduced from 21 clubs to 20, and featured two new clubs after Barnstaple Town were promoted to Southern League Division One South & West, Winterbourne United resigned from the league, and Welton Rovers were relegated to the First Division.

Chipping Sodbury Town, champions of the First Division.
Wells City, runners-up in the First Division.

Bristol Manor Farm, Buckland Athletic, Clevedon Town, Melksham Town and Street applied for promotion to Step 4 for 2017–18.

With the news that Gillingham Town were resigning from the Western League for financial reasons at the end of the season,^[1] and the fact that the Premier Division is already two clubs short, only one club was relegated.
