​The Mayor, Cllr Sandra Slade, this morning issued an update follwing the latest Government guidelines

​Following Government advice and guidelines, from today the Minehead Town Council offices will be closed to the public but the phone line (01643-707213) will be manned each day from 10.00am ­2.00pm.
 
Minehead Town Council’s PUBLIC TOILETS will be closed and CHILDREN’S PLAYGROUND AREAS, where possible, will be locked. Where they are open areas, it is advised that all social distancing guidance is followed and it is not advisable for children to use playground equipment.

MINEHEAD CEMETERY remains open - telephone 01643-705243 ­but, again, the public are advised to follow social distancing guidance.

​Cllr Sandra Slade
Mayor

Minehead Town Council Offices are operating their normal opening hours - 10.00 am - 2.00 pm on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Telephone calls and emails are being responded to between Monday and Friday as usual.  Most staff are working remotely in accordance with Government guidelines so please bear with us if there is a slight delay in answering your query.  Visitors to the offices may have to knock and wait for staff to answer the door where they will follow the social distancing rules.

Are you contacting the correct Council?     If you are uncertain which Council to contact please glance at the "Council Services" page on this website for a quick guide to which Council does what. 

In light of the current situation and evolving guidance from the Government I feel it is appropriate and sensible to suspend all Minehead Town Council meetings until further notice.
Cllr Sandra Slade
Mayor of Minehead 
17 March 2020

The Finance and Staffing Committee meeting scheduled for 9 December and the Amenities and Environment Committee meeting scheduled for 10 December have been cancelled due to the proximity of three meetings to the Christmas holiday.  All business which would normally be discussed at these Committee meetings will be brought to Full Council at its meeting on Monday 16 December 2019.  Please note the change of day and venue - the meeting will be held at Minehead Middle School at 7.30 pm.  

New Community Hall and    Changing Rooms, Irnham Road – Recreation Ground
 

• The Minehead Town Council is currently building a new Community Building on the Recreation Ground.
• The building work started in July 2019 and is due to be completed in April 2020.
• It will include changing rooms and a community hall with catering and bar facilities.
• It will be regularly used by the Minehead Association Football Club for matches, training and other sports events and will be available to hire from the Town Council.
• The Town Council will own and operate the building and it is currently looking for organisations, sports teams, and groups that are interested in using the building and its facilities when it opens.
• There will be an open morning on Saturday the 30th November (10am to 12 midday) in the Council Offices in Summerland Road for interested parties to get together and talk about the project.

If your sports club, organisation or group are interested in using these facilities please let the Minehead Town Council know by phoning 01643-707213,  emailing info@mineheadtowncouncil.co.uk or visit the offices on Monday, Tuesday or Thursdays between 10am and 2pm.

Minehead Town Council has converted the former Ticket Office in Summerland Road Car Park into a room for use by both the Council and the community.   It is hoped this centrally-sited venue will provide a place where Councillors and MTC staff can hold meetings, both with each other and with the public.  The monthly Mayor’s Coffee Morning will be held there from 6th November and it is hoped that other organisations who wish to interface with the public will use the office also.   The room has tea and coffee making facilities but users are asked to provide their own milk - and biscuits if required!  Although the room does not currently have wi-fi or telephone connections, it is intended that these will be in place as soon as possible.   If you would like more information about using the room, please contact the Town Council office on 01643 707213 or email info@mineheadtowncouncil.co.uk.
