Elections took place for all Weymouth Town Council wards on Thursday 2nd May. To view the election results, visit featured news. We have 25 Councillors representing 11 wards. Visit our Councillors page for more details.

What do Councillors do?

Councillors represent their community. They also make decisions about how we use our budget and run our services in our beautiful coastal town; from the beach and Promenade to 10 public toilet buildings, 18 play areas, four cemeteries, allotment sites, events, licences, leases, and projects including Tumbledown Farm. They also make decisions on how we generate income to keep Council Tax low.

Do Councillors get any support or training?

Yes. Councillors receive training. Weymouth Town Council was recently awarded the Single Star Award for Councillor Development by the Dorset Association of Parish & Town Councils. Certificate below:
