Your Councillors

Minehead Town Councillors

The Council has sixteen members, representing four Wards: Alcombe, Minehead North, Minehead Central and Minehead South. The boundaries of these Wards are decided by population to give fairly even representation and elections to the Council are held every four years. Currently, four Town Councillors are also members of the West Somerset Council.

Each year in May an Annual General Meeting is held when the Mayor, Deputy Mayor and Committees are elected. Each Councillor sits on at least two committees, with the Mayor and Deputy Mayor being members of all the Committees.

The Committees are as follows: Full Council, Amenities & General Purposes, Finance, Staffing, Planning, Environment (which includes Flooding, Allotments and Toilets) and Community Building. Full Council and Planning Meetings are held monthly but all other Committees meet four times a year. Agendas and Minutes are available for the public to read in Minehead Town Council's office at 3 Summerland Road, Minehead TA24 5BP and on this website. There are also a number of other sub-committees or working parties, some of which include representatives from other town groups.
