West Moors Town Council

Welcome to the West Moors Town Council website where you will find information about your Town Council and local community.
We’re here to help with all things West Moors.

In the "Groups and Organisations" section, there are details of West Moors services (including bus details), clubs, churches, schools, sports and much more.

We're delighted to provide this service to local organisations free of charge, so please make sure your organisation is featured with up to date information.

You’ll find information about us and the services we provide as well as links to the other local authorities serving this area and useful information. We hope you find what you came here for but if not, we are only a phone call or email away and waiting to hear from you. 

Who is responsible for what?

West Moors Town Council is responsible for a range of facilities, assets and provisions throughout West Moors.
We have produced a handy infographic to detail which different services Dorset Council and we ourselves are responsible for.

VE Day Celebrations

VE Day Celebrations

Published: 9 May 25

It was a day of unity and celebration in West Moors as we marked the 80th anniversary of VE Day with a short and poignant morning service on the Petwyn (with an additional tribute paid by our Town Crier). 60 residents, including some from Brook View Care Home and Summerhill Residential Home, then joined us for a celebration at Pinehurst Community Church. We enjoyed a delicious fish and chip lunch thanks to Lime Coast Catering, followed by war-time favourites from vintage singer Sally. It was a joy to see everyone enjoying themselves, dancing and waving their flags! Thank you to all involved in making it such a special day. Read More...

New Sign for The Spinney

New Sign for The Spinney

Published: 16 Apr 25

The Spinney (located between Southern Avenue and Heatherdown Road) has been treated to a beautiful new sign! A collaborative project by local residents, the log was donated by Tom, designed by Keith Randle and finished with additional decoration by David. The Spinney is Dorset Council land, so of course they granted permission and Dan from their Ranger team kindly helped Keith install it. Keith set up a volunteer group, Friends of the Spinney, back in 2023 with the aim of turning it into an attractive green space for all to enjoy. The dedication and hours of hard work put in by Keith and other volunteers is truly admirable. Read More...
