WHAT DOES DAPTC DO?

The Dorset Association of Parish and Town Councils provides representation, advice, support, training and assistance to its member councils, many of whom employ only one official, the Clerk. (Apart from the Town Councils this is usually on a part-time basis).                                       

The advice and support offered by DAPTC is backed-up by the Association's affiliation to the National Association of Local Councils (NALC)
