Weston placemaking activity focuses on eight key themes, with a particular emphasis on quality, year-round activity, equality, and diversity.

You will ensure that the Placemaking team and projects are delivered within corporate processes and policies, and support colleagues to follow these guidance and procedures.


Successful Placemaking is delivered in partnership with colleagues and stakeholders, you will work to develop and maintain relationships with businesses and organisations, including through the Weston Place Agency, culture and arts partners, Weston BID and Weston Town Council, amongst others.

These partnerships should create economies of scale, reduce duplication and strengthen joint activity.
