It will be held on Tuesday May 4 at 7pm, the Zoom log-in is 338 427 2622 and the password is 748963.

All interested persons are invited to attend and may participate during question time.

Reports will be presented to the mayor, town, district and county councillors, and these will include:

• Citizens Advice Mendip
