At the Annual Meeting of Loftus Town Council; on 8 May 2017, Cllr Mike Hodgson, of Easington, was elected Chairman of the Town Council and Town Mayor for 2017/18. At the meeting Cllr Hodgson, who was also Town Mayor in 2015/16, thanked the members for their confidence in him, and said that he will do his best to represent the whole of Loftus parish to the best of his ability.
After the success of the 1st Revival of the Loftus Produce Show in 2016 Loftus Town is delighted to announce the show will be taking place this year on the 19th August 2017.
The Produce Show was held annually in Loftus until the 1990s, and the Town Council continues to receive help from community groups and former members of local Allotment Associations to make the show a big annual event for Loftus, and bring visitors to the town. There are classes for vegetables, flowers and home baking, as well as a limited number of Young People’s classes.

Loftus Town Council is aware that there have been a lot of negative comments about Christmas Lights in Loftus, particularly the tree next to Loftus Town Hall, even though there were more publicly provided lights in Loftus in 2016 than ever before. The Council is therefore once again asking the public for its preferences on Christmas lights.
Members will use the results from this consultation to help the Council make decisions for 2017/18, although preferences expressed will not be binding - the Council needs to consider the practicalities and budget implications, as well as any expected developments (eg, possible redevelopment of the Market Place

It has come to the attention of the Town Council that some people are somewhat disappointed in the display of Christmas lights in Loftus this year, and that in particular they think there should be a more substantial display on the tree at the Town Hall. The Council is surprised by this, as there are more lights in Loftus than at any time in the past, but values all input from the community.
As a response to some of the comments, here is a resume of who provides what and where.
Since moving the Loftus Town Council office from 81a High Street to Loftus Town Hall staff are pleased to report an increase in residents calling at the office for information or advice. One question that is often asked by new and longer term residents is "what goes on in Loftus?". Loftus Town Council has therefore pulled together a list of local events, groups and meetings which we hope will be of interest - please note this only includes activities that the Town Council has been made aware of. If you run a group and would like your events adding then please do not hesitate to contact us on 01287 641000 or This email address is being protected from spambots.
