Wellington Town Council is pleased to present the first of our "Wellington Circular Walks" maps!

Throughout the summer, we had quite a few visitors coming into our reception looking for local info and walking routes. While we have some lovely routes within the town itself, people let us know they were interested in exploring some of the surrounding countryside.

Walking up to Wellington Monument is something of a right of passage in our town, so we thought this would be a great route to start with. Our map takes you on a 9km loop to the Monument and back, teaching you all about our area's history and heritage on the way!

Come into our reception at 30 Fore Street to pick up your copy today - the views during the autumn can be beautiful 🍂

We have two more routes in the works, let us know in the comments below if you have any suggestions for future walks!

Wellington Town Council is working with Visit Somerset to raise the profile of the town and increase business for hospitality and retail.

Visit Somerset is the official Destination Management Organisation for the county, whose primary publicity is delivered by their website - www.visitsomerset.co.uk

Businesses in and around Wellington are able to participate in this fully funded project and this short webinar will demonstrate what is available and how businesses can engage. The aim is to increase the profile of the town and businesses, particularly in hospitality and retail.

There will also be a short presentation by the South West Visitor Economy Hub - this will give some more general statistics and trends and also identify opportunities to improve business performance.

The key decisions from last night's November full council meeting are as follows:

Grant for Wellington Rugby Football Club
- Resolved to approve a £3,000 grant to Wellington Rugby Football Club to go towards the replacement of existing floodlights with energy-efficient LED floodlights

Councillor Allowances
- Councillors were recommended to approve a 6.5% increase on their allowances to bring them in line with the recommendations of the Independent Renumeration Panel. The recommendations from this panel are based on our councillors receiving 5% of Somerset Council's basic allowance. This recommendation would have brought the allowance amount to £860 per year per councillor.
- Councillors instead resolved to set allowances to increase by 3% or by the current CPI, whichever is lower.

Polices & Procedures
- Councillors approved a range of policies and procedures including updated Standing Orders, Code of Conduct, Financial Regulations, Media and Communication Policy, and Publication Scheme. All of these documents will be available on our website in due course.

The full minutes of this meeting will be available on our website soon.

Our next full council meeting will be on Monday 7th December at 6pm at the United Reformed Church. Meetings are open to the public and you are welcome to attend.

Help a hedgehog!

Transition Town Wellington have dropped off this leaflet to help us all keep hedgehogs safe this autumn. Just in time as well, as we did not know pumpkins can be harmful to hedgehogs!

Here is how you can help:
🦔 If you are lighting a bonfire check for hedgehogs first - they love to hibernate in piles of dead wood and leaves.
🦔 Leave a bowl of fresh water in your garden and some meat-based wet or dry food formulated for cats or dogs. Do not leave out bread and milk which can be fatal for them.
🦔 Leave piles of leaves and wood that hedgehogs can use for hibernation.
🦔 Keep garden netting raised or stored away to avoid the risk of hedgehogs getting tangled in it.
🦔 Do not leave pumpkins out in your garden - they are extremely dangerous to hedgehogs and can cause dehydration. Keep your Halloween pumpkins above ground level.

If you find an injured or sick hedgehog or a hedgehog out in the daytime, contact RSPCA West Hatch on 0300 123 0747

This week we have revamped the beds at the corner of Priory and outside Wellington Community Hospital, removing seasonal bedding and instead filling them with drought-tolerant perennial plants.

Following the exceptional heat we experienced this summer, it is clear that we must be proactive in the face of climate change. The plants in these beds have been specially chosen for their hardiness and tolerance of drought. In front of the benches outside of the Community Hospital, we have chosen to also include some aromatic sensory plants including lavender, thyme, and rosemary.

The team will be back to repaint the sleepers that surround the beds, using a darker, walnut-coloured paint to smarten them up.
