Discover Beaminster

🎉 BEAMINSTER COMMUNITY EXPO TOMORROW!🎉

As part of tomorrow’s Community Expo, the Beaminster Neighbourhood Plan Team will be holding a Drop-in Session – and they’d really like to hear from you!

What makes Beaminster special?
What does Beaminster need to help it thrive in the future?

Come along, have a chat and share your thoughts. They want to hear everyone’s views so they can help shape the developing Neighbourhood Plan for Beaminster.

Cllr Andy Brown will also be on hand representing Beaminster Town Council. He’ll be happy to welcome residents, answer questions and provide information about the Council, including our rooms and facilities for hire, local issues and how you can get involved.

And… we’re still looking for our 11th and final Town Councillor! 👀 If you’ve ever wondered what being a councillor involves, come and have an informal chat with Andy and find out more.

Free refreshments.
Children’s activities.
Bring the whole family!
