Weston-super-Mare is a holiday destination and a great place to bring kids, but what's it like to raise a family here? We talk to Lynsey McKinstry, who grew up in the town and is now bringing up her own children in Weston.

• The Grand Pier’s local’s membership card
• her favourite places to eat and shop in Weston
• her role at Weston College, its progressive approach to getting students into the workforce and the pastoral care given to pupils
