WEYMOUTH'S iconic Jubilee Clock will be lit up throughout the year to raise awareness of good causes.

Weymouth Town Council will light up the clockface with colours that represent different charities and will run throughout 2021.

The council aims to represent one cause or charity per month, with the clock being lit for up to three days per month.

Residents can nominate any local or national charities they would like to see represented by completing an online form by January 31.

They will need to give details of the charity, chosen dates and appropriate colour or colours.

Councillor Ken Whatley, Chair of the TEAF Working Group, said: "We hope to help raise awareness for charities and good causes using this well-known landmark.

"The Jubilee Clock is one of Weymouth’s most recognisable sights and a proud symbol of Weymouth’s heritage.

"The Town Council look forward to receiving and supporting applications from residents and charities."

The Jubilee Clock was built in 1888 to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria and became Grade II listed in 1974.
