PARKING and speed limits in the town will be discussed at the Minehead Area Panel meeting to which residents are invited on Wednesday (September 9).  

At previous meetings, several people raised the matter of residents’ parking permits while others called for a 20mph speed limit in areas of the town. Parking times and fees have also been an issue.

Somerset County Council is currently looking into a number of these concerns and the meeting provides an opportunity for suggestions to be made to the Highways department.

The Area Panel meeting also features updates on what is happening in Minehead from the Visioning Group and the Development Trust as well as from town, district and county councils.  

Reports from the police and fire service are regular features on the agenda and there is an opening for the public to raise any community issues.   

The meeting will be held at The Avenue Methodist Church Hall at 6.30pm and usually finishes by 8pm
