Two "Tommies" have now been installed in one of the flowerbeds in the centre of The Parade - one provided by Minehead Town Council and the other by the Freemasons.  These were made by military veterans and purchased from the charity "Remembered" which aims to raise very substantial funds to help heal those suffering from the hidden wounds of post-traumatic stress disorder and other lasting legacies of combat by raising funds for The Royal Foundation, Walking with the Wounded, Combat Stress, Help for Heroes, Project Equinox and the Commonwealth War Graves Foundation.  Two poppies have kindly been crocheted for Minehead Town Council's Tommy by Minehead Yarners using Exmoor wool.  One is crafted from exactly 116 stitches representing the 116 names of the fallen from Minehead in both World Wars

Development on Irnham Road Recreation Ground

Minehead Town Council has planning permission to build a new community hall and community sports changing rooms on Irnham Road Recreation Ground.  The Town Councillors feel that, although a public consultation was carried out in 2016 for this project, it would be informative to people in Minehead if the project plans were available for inspection.  Therefore the Town Council offices at 3 Summerland Road will be open on Saturday 10 November and Saturday 17 November from 10.00 am to 12 midday to view the plans and Council staff will be available to answer any questions.  It will also give the public a chance to put their names forward to speak on the subject at the next Full Council meeting

West Somerset Radio 104.4 fm on air from 22nd October at 12pm at The Old Hospital, The Avenue, Minehead, TA24 5AY
