WEYMOUTH residents have an opportunity to ask the town council about important local issues at a virtual Town Assembly this month. Weymouth Town Council is to hold the event on March 17 and is encouraging members of the public to submit any questions or topics for discussion ahead of the event. All parish and town councils are required to hold annual meetings between 1 March and 1 June each year. However, in 2020 the government removed the requirement to hold an annual meeting due to the coronavirus pandemic. The event is not a council meeting - instead it is an opportunity for residents to ask questions about Weymouth and discuss community issues.
