Weston super Mare Town Council is the only democratically elected body exclusively representing the civil "parish" and people of Weston-super-Mare, including Worle and Uphill. There are 31 councillors elected every 4 years who take no allowances, as well as a small number of employed staff to implement their decisions. The Council is entirely independent of North Somerset Council and raises its own budget to spend on services and facilities that the people of Weston want.
We provide many services to the town including the Blakehay Theatre, Weston Museum, the Water Park, 2 Skate Parks, 6 Public Toilets, 19 Play Areas, bus shelters, dog bins etc. We also lobby other public authorities on things which affect the town.
Re-founded 2000 to carry out the civic role of the former borough abolished in 1974 which left Weston without its own Council, unlike any of the other 39 parishes in North Somerset.
Weston Town Council's 2020-2024 Strategy - Have your say
Weston-super-Mare Town Council are working on their strategy document which is done once every four years, in line with the election of the new councillors.
The current strategy document runs from 2016-2020. Over the next few months, Councillors and staff will work together to create the Weston Town Council Strategy for 2020-2024.
We need the views and participation of residents living in the Weston area, in the wards that the Town council serves. Your thoughts are a driving force in our decision making. With this in mind, we are inviting residents to discuss what they feel is most important to the community in the next 4 years.
We are asking three questions through-out the town this summer and online.
The discussions and comments gathered from this survey will form part of the initial planning stage for the 2020-2024 Strategy.
