Since separating from
Margate and becoming, politically, an Independent Town in 2015, the seaside area of
Westgate-on-Sea (in the District of the
Isle-of-Thanet,
Kent) has had an elected
Town Council. Westgate-on-Sea Town Council sits at Tier 1, directly below
Thanet District Council, which is, in-turn, a level below
Kent County Council. The
MP for the Town is
The Rt Hon Sir Roger Gale.
Westgate-on-Sea Town Council held their Inaugural Annual Statutory Meeting
[4] on 13th May 2015, where it was democratically decided to refer to them as Westgate-on-Sea Town Council, as opposed to Westgate-on-Sea Parish Council.
Westgate-on-Sea Town Council (often abbreviated to WoSTC) was formed in 2015
[5] and exists to actively support the people who live, work and visit the historic town of Westgate (in 1879, the first town to experiment with electric lighting on the seafront)
[6]. The Council’s vision for Westgate-on-Sea is that of a vibrant, thriving and welcoming community, where people want to live, work and visit.
The full powers of Westgate-on-Sea Town Council can be viewed at the official Parish Council's webpage at
https://www.parishcouncils.uk/parish-council/westgate-on-sea-parish-council/
The Town Council is a member of both the
National Association of Local Councils and the
Kent Association of Local Councils.
2015 - 2019
When the Town Council was first formed, there was no election, as only ten people put their names forward to become Town Councillors. Of these ten, four resigned during this, the first four-year, term of the Council.
These were Graham Rickett,
[7], Lynne (Ash) Ashbee, Richard Charlton and David Morrish

Westgate-on-Sea Town Council (WoSTC) has been under no overall control since creation in 2015 [5], with the majority feeling that a Town or Parish Council should be devoid of any party commitments.
The Town Council has a Facebook Page
[15], but Councillors also decided in 2017 to ask for the creation of a group called Westgate-on-Sea Town Council Discussion Group
[16], to enable local residents to talk about Town Council matters in an open forum that they, the Council & the Councillors, had no control over.
WoSTC also has a strong connection with the Facebook Group of Westgate Matters
[17]
Westgate-on-Sea Town Council produce a local magazine. As well as being delivered to all of the residents of the Town, this is also viewable online.
When first formed, WoSTC took offices in the building called the 'Town Hall Building', which hosts the Carlton Cinema and a number of other businesses.
As they grew, in 2017 the Council moved to 11 Ethelbert Square, before moving, in 2019 [18], to their current location of 78 St. Mildred's Road.
WoSTC are now looking into the concept of being located in the Westgate-on-Sea Library Building.
On 21st July 2019, WoSTC hosted their first Westgate Day More information can be found out about this day by reading the ' Westgate Talk' magazine that the Town Council produce. This day was very busy and an outstanding success, bringing a large number of people to the Town. It was planned to be repeated, but Covid has stopped this.
WoSTC does play a part in the ' Westgate Lights festival', which is arranged by local businesses and also brings a great number of visitors to the Town.
[19] The Council has taken over running the annual 'Pancake Races'. This is a historical event, both for local schoolkids and adults.
In 2019, Westgate's Town Council gave a strong commitment to revamping their Green Spaces [20]
