Our popular Councillors’ surgery sessions are held on the last Saturday of each month in the Skyrm room at the Public Hall at 10-11am, with no appointment necessary. Our next surgery will be held this Saturday, 25th January, with Councillors David Gillings and Kevin Woods on hand for questions, queries & discussion.
David moved to Beaminster three years ago to be nearer family. Now retired, he was a Chartered Surveyor working with a variety of businesses involved in construction and engineering, mainly dealing with contractual disputes and commercial recovery.
Kevin has been a resident of Beaminster for over 10 years, he is the Chairman of the Finance and General Purposes Committee and is actively involved in Town Amenities, Community Engagement and other committees that are part of the council’s regular work.
