Clevedon Town Council has a new face at the table. Greg Langson joins mid-term, stepping into the role with enthusiasm, drive, and a clear commitment to serving the town he has called home since childhood. Greg grew up in Clevedon from the age of five. His family has deep local roots, running businesses here for generations. His grandad started one of the town’s early taxi firms, later expanding into coaches. The family have also owned shops, pubs, and restaurants across Clevedon. That sense of local enterprise runs through Greg’s own life too. He now runs a long-established family business in the town. Alongside business, martial arts has shaped Greg’s outlook. He began training young and has travelled to 18 countries through the sport. Those experiences led him to teach in schools and community centres across Clevedon, and to work with adults with learning difficulties at Weston College. Teaching, he says, gave him a real understanding of people, community needs, and how confidence grows when people feel supported.

Greg admits that, growing up, he didn’t always appreciate Clevedon. He once imagined living elsewhere. Life changed that perspective. Building a business here, raising his three daughters, and meeting countless people through his work has shown him the town’s true appeal. The marine lake, the parks, the coastline, the small businesses, the strong sense of community. In his words, “there’s really nowhere like it”. That shift in perspective is a big part of why Greg stepped forward to serve on the council. He speaks with passion about wanting to bridge the gap between the public and the council. He knows that councils face challenges and heavy workloads. He believes the answer lies in more open conversations, clearer communication, and encouraging people to come into meetings and see how things work. He describes himself as someone with “loads of energy”, always analysing and always wanting to improve things. He wants to bring that energy into council work, and he’s keen to spend his time making a genuine difference. Through his business, he talks to residents every day and hears first-hand what people care about. He sees that as one of his strengths and a valuable insight he can bring to the council chamber. As Greg puts it, he wants to look back and know he has done his part for Clevedon. We welcome Councillor Langson to Clevedon Town Council and wish him every success in his new role.
