Welcome to Around The Well!
Our goal with this podcast is to provide a space for the discussion of issues that impact the Town of Wellington.
The topics the podcast covers will have a wide range, from the offerings of our Town’s recreation department to matters related to its Municipal code, and anything in between. But, whatever the topic, our aim remains the same: to help Wellington residents and business get the inside scoop about the issues that affect their Town government and their community.

Thanks for listening!
