Lyme Regis Town Council is a major stakeholder in the local tourist economy, managing large parts of the seafront, public car parks and gardens. Its activities are supported by an extensive property portfolio and other leisure facilities. Despite a relatively small resident population of about 4,000, the council’s annual income is more than £2,500,000 and its range of ‘business’ activities is comparable with many much larger towns.
The council is seeking to appoint a forward-thinking deputy town clerk who can work alongside the town clerk to manage the council's statutory requirements and promote the interests of the town.
