TOWN COUNCIL
SERVING WELLINGTON & ROCKWELL GREEN
Wellington is a growing and thriving town close to the Somerset/Devon county boundary and ideally placed as a Gateway to the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The town has a population of around 15,000 represented by 15 town councillors, six district councillors, and two county councillors comprising a mix of the three main political Parties and Independents.
Town Mayor Councillor Mark Lithgow
Council meetings are conducted by the Town Mayor, Councillor Mark Lithgow or, in his absence, the Deputy Mayor, Councillor Vivienne Stock-Williams.
The Full Council meetings are usually at 7 pm on the first Monday of each month at the United Reformed Church, Fore Street. They are preceded each month on the same day by the Finance Committee at 5.45 pm and by the planning meeting at 6.15 pm (times may vary, see agendas). All meetings of the Council and its Committees are open to the public. The public may speak and ask questions (please contact the Town Clerk for more information). The council also holds additional public meetings when a particular subject needs detailed discussion.
