Meetings
The Town Council has two standing committees: Planning, which comments on local planning applications submitted to West Dorset District Council and Policy, which considers all matters financial and general to the council and makes recommendations on these to Full Council.
A number of working groups and sub-committees investigate specific matters in more detail before reporting to the Policy Committee. These groups meet on an ad hoc basis as required.
