MINEHEAD AND COAST DEVELOPMENT TRUST

MDT works with the community to deliver social, economic and cultural regeneration projects. MDT's main aim is to acquire the redundant Old Hospital and develop it as a town-centre community hub including an information centre, the Library, a museum and space for events. MDT currently runs Minehead Information Centre and employs a manager to support the town's economic regeneration strategy.

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Financial issues to consider:

Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
