DAPTC's Area Committees provide an excellent opportunity 3 times a year to meet councils in and around their locality to share best practice and talk through common issues.
The current DAPTC Constitution allows for the running of seven commiottees covering the whole of Dorset. Each committee has in turn representation on the Executive Committee of DAPTC.
Each committee has its own constitution with the requirement that annually they elect a Chair, Vice Chair, representatives and reserves to attend Executive Committee meetings.
The Executive Committee meets at least four times a year and the Annual General Meeting for DAPTC is held in November.
