Town Council Updates – A Busy Week Ahead! 

There’s lots happening around Wem this week as we continue to improve our town’s facilities!

Toilet Refurbishment: The public toilets on the main car park will be closed for the week while they receive a fresh coat of paint and new doors are fitted.

Playground Upgrades: On Wem Recreation Ground, a new play unit—chosen by students from St Peter’s School—will be installed, replacing the large climber in the corner. Plus, we’re adding new football goalposts and carrying out repairs to safety surfaces under the equipment.

 Street Lighting Improvements: Our contractors will also be replacing some of the concrete streetlight columns as part of our ongoing upgrade programme.

We appreciate your patience while these improvements take place. If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch at

It seems that the storm at the weekend has affected the Christmas Lights on the High Street. Engineers are trying to sort out the problem so hopefully everything will be back to normal for the weekend. Sorry for the inconvenience, please feel free to contact the Town Council on 01939 232733 or info@wem.gov.uk if you want any more information.
