Antony Littlechild (Sustainability Team Manager) and Carl Warom (Climate & Ecology Policy Officer) provide an overview of the Dorset Council's progress on climate initiatives and share a hots of resources available to parish and town councils across Dorset.
Working Together Webinars
DAPTC working with Dorset Council have created a short format online way of briefing both clerks and councillors about key changes, projects and initiatives. This gives member councils an opportunity to engage both Dorset Council officers and elected members on key topics.
Who should council send along?
There are no requirements other than an employee or councillor that will provide an update for their council at the next opportunity and ensure any actions are followed through. The webinars may be just about sharing key information or they may require action on the part of the parish or town council.
DAPTC host the webinars and ensure that post webinar resources are available and where possible the webinars are recorded for those that can't make it on the day.
