@donnomusic Thanks for your kind words, Donno. We have nearly 60 benches across the town, and another two due soon, and all are designed to provide relaxation and enjoyment. Our Clerk is in Liverpool in a few weeks time. No doubt, he’ll be taking notes following your stay in #Axminster

The only normal benches we have in Liverpool are dedicated to someone who’s passed away, this bench in Axminster was placed there by the council just for people to enjoy and have a relaxing sit down on! We need to be doing this sort of thing everywhere!!! - What do you think?

Good to read @NALC_chair in todays @guardiannews on @NALC local councils - “unsung heroes of local government stepping up to play a more active role…..increasingly taking on more responsibilities from financially challenged larger local authorities.” theguardian.com/society/2024/m…

@Dorset_TS Good evening. We are a Town Council in Axminster, East Devon (just over the Dorset border). Can you provide us with an email address so that we can make a formal representation to you regarding a business trading in Dorset that we have genuine concerns about?

@ChezzieEvans @EposNow Hi Chezzie Hope all well. We’ve used @ZettlebyPayPal at Guildhall since Aug23 with no hiccups and positive, regular, no-drama payment processing, reports and stock management. Happy to show you our set-up if you happen to be in #Axminster one day.

So, as you can imagine, we were even more delighted to see a new website launched by "a bunch of locals who love #Axminster" to extol all that is great about our town. Many thanks to all involved. #lovewhereyoulive whatsinaxminster.co.uk

The Town Council is delighted to support the Axminster Chamber of Commerce as it works tirelessly to promote the best interests of the town's business community & showcase all #Axminster has to offer our residents and visitors alike.
