Seaton Town Council
The Town Council comprises 12 Councillors and has an office in Seaton Town Hall manned by the Town Clerk and a secretary. The office is open each weekday from 9-12 noon.
The Town Council also operates the Tourist Information Centre in The Underfleet Car Park (opposite the Tramway). The Tourist Information Centre (TIC) has its own website (www.eastdevon.net/tourism/Seaton).
The Town Council also owns and operates the Allotments site in Barnards Hill Lane.
All meetings of the Council are held in the Committee Room of Seaton Town Hall.
The public are welcome and are encouraged to attend. They have an opportunity to speak during the first 15 minutes of each meeting.
Agendas for every meeting are published on the Council Noticeboard outside the Town Hall, at least four working days prior to the meeting.
They are also available at the Library and on the website.
All meetings commence at 7.00pm unless stated otherwise on the agenda.
The Annual Parish Meeting is normally held at the end of April, details being published in the View from Seaton, Midweek Herald, Town Council Noticeboard, Library and website.
Local Planning applications are available in the Council Office for inspection by the public and copies are available for a small charge.
The Council also operates an Information Point on behalf of East Devon District Council and has EDDC literature and papers available for public perusal.
Minutes of all the Town Council's meetings are also available for the public in the office and copies are sent to Seaton Library.
Unlike County Council and District Councillors, Town and Parish Councillors do not generally receive remuneration for the work they do or for the meetings they attend.
Seaton Town Council supports this policy and there is therefore currently no provision in Seaton Town Council’s budget for such remuneration, although there is provision to reimburse any necessary expenses incurred by councillors.
The Full Council meets on the fourth Monday of each month.
The Finance and General Purposes Committee meets on the second Monday of each month.
The Planning committee meets on the second and fourth Monday of each month.
The Allotments Committee and Seaton in Bloom committee meet as necessary
Allotments
Far enough inland not to be affected by salt sprays but raised and tilted to face the sea, the Seaton Town Allotment site is surely one of the most picturesque venues for “grow your own” enthusiasts.
