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.

Annual Town Meeting Success!

Annual Town Meeting Success!

Published: 11 Apr 25

What a fantastic evening at our Annual Town Meeting! We had over 80 people in attendance, with lots of information shared, topics discussed and biscuits eaten! Special thanks goes to our guest speakers, Maria Gayton (who gave a fascinating introduction to the Dorset History Centre with a focus on West Moors collections) and Jane Hutchings (who came from Dorset Council's Trading Standards team to give a very interesting insight into scams). We were also honoured to have His Majesty's Lord-Lieutenant of Dorset, Mr Michael Dooley, in attendance to present our Good Citizen Award and give us an overview of his important role. We must also extend our gratitude to the community groups who took the time to come and represent themselves. Hopefully some great connections were made! Thanks to West Moors Singers, 1st West Moors Scout Group, Castleman Community Larder, West Moors Flower Group, Citizens Advice in East Dorset & Purbeck, West Moors Horticultural Society, West Moors Dementia Action Group, Dorset Council's Trading Standards, West Moors Memorial Bowls Club, Home-Start Wessex, East Dorset Craft Club and the newly formed West Moors Football Club.
