Mayor's Message

A very warm welcome to the eighth edition of The Wheel, a magazine for the people of Radstock, which we hope you will continue to find informative and interesting.

Firstly, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the outgoing Mayor, Councillor Rupert Bevan for all he did through his tenure as Mayor during particularly difficult and unprecedented times for all.

I am delighted to have been elected as the new Mayor for Radstock and look forward to leading the Council and working closely with my fellow councillors and the people of Radstock. I hope that my experience as Ward Councillor to Writhlington for the last ten years will hold me in good stead for the position. The last ten years has taught me the importance of listening and representing the people of Writhlington, which I have done to the best of my ability.

I have strong community and family roots in the town having lived here since 1969 and a great passion for the outdoors, in particular the growing and showing of Dahlias.

The Town Council is working on some exciting projects for the Town, including Haydon Batch, the recent public consultation will help to guide the future masterplan. I thank everyone who participated in the consultation, it provided valuable feedback.

Bath & North East Somerset Council have recently

drawn up the Radstock Town Centre Action Plan, which you can view on the Town Council’s website or read about in this edition of The Wheel. It is an interesting plan which we hope will guide the future of our town.

May I take the opportunity to wish you all a very happy autumn, I look forward to seeing you around the Town.

Nick Toogood Mayor of Radstock
