AN ANNUAL council meeting has seen a change of date as a result of the mourning period following the death of Prince Philip.

The Annual Town Meeting of Lyme Regis Electors has been pushed back.

The meeting will now be held virtually on Thursday, April 29 at 7pm. It was originally intended to take place on Friday, April 23.

Chief among the topics of discussion will be the Lyme Regis Town Council's Corporate Plan - which will run from 2021 until 2026.

The meeting is open to members of the public. To ensure the smooth running of the meeting, the town council is asking members of the public who’d like to speak to notify them in advance by email at admin@lymeregistowncouncil.gov.uk.
