Working Together webinars are hosted by DAPTC to ensure the working relationship between parish, town and unitary authority are productive and informative. The sessions run monthly and will be for about 1 hour. The timings are geared to appeal to either officers or councillors attending, so invariably 4:00pm to 5:30pm on Tuesdays or Thursdays.

If you feel any of the webinars are relevant to your council, please send someone along to so they can report back at your next meeting.

There will always be an opportunity to pre-submit questions or ask them during the session and resources will be provided afterwards. For some of the webinars there may be a defined audience and invites will be directed to those groups; this could be geographic or specifically rural parishes or towns. We'll make this clear ahead of the webinar.

In the schedule below are the dates and time of Area Committee Meetings, Executive Committee Meetings and the Annual General Meeting.

The event details will also hold the agendas and meeting papers and information. In addition you may register your attendance and there will be joining details or location information.

If you have any questions please get in touch.
