Weston-super-Mare Town Council

Remembrance Sunday 2023
2023-11-12 10:30 - 11:30 (Europe/London) | Grove Park
Weston-super-Mare will again fall silent 12th November at 11:00am to remember those who have served the country through our Armed Forces. Grove Park will be packed with thousands of people for Remembrance Sunday.
A parade of cadets, military personnel – past and present – scouts and guides will set off from the High Street on Sunday at 10.25am, accompanied by a band.
A service, featuring hymns, wreath laying and the national anthem will follow.
A two-minute silence will be observed at 11am.
People attending the service at Grove Park are asked to print off or even better read from their phone an order of service, which can be found here – Remembrance 2023-Order of Service to ensure there are enough copies for everyone and to save the environment.
A field of remembrance will be set up to the right of the war memorial, where people are allowed to leave tributes to the fallen. However, organisers ask that this is not done during the service.

Committee Agendas & Minutes

As long as you live or work in Weston, you may have your say at Town Council meetings, which take place at the Town Hall in the New Council chamber.
If you wish to speak at a meeting please notify us of the subject matter before 5pm on the last working day before the day of the meeting (eg for a Monday meeting this means the Friday before).
Before the commencement of the meeting, the Chairman will invite members of the public to address the Council under the public participation section. This allows a total of 15 minutes for members of the public to speak, present a petition or ask a question. The time will be split depending on how many people wish to speak, which in some cases isn’t long, so you have to be very clear on your leading point and deliver that first.
All decisions are made by councillors only and members of the public can’t take part in Council or Committee debate nor in voting on issues.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Have Your Say on Weston-super-Mare’s Christmas Lights!

The holiday season is a magical time in Weston-super-Mare, and one of the key ingredients is the Christmas lights display. As we look ahead to 2024, we want to ensure that our town shines even brighter during this time of year. That’s why we’re inviting you to give us your thoughts on a new Christmas lights design.

Why Your Opinion Matters
At Weston-super-Mare Town Council, we believe that the Christmas lights as far as possible, should reflect the wishes and desires of our local community. After all, it’s your festive experience that we want to enhance. That’s why we have launched a survey to gather your valuable input and suggestions.
