Western Area Transport Action Group (WATAG)
WATAG's objectives are to seek and achieve sustainable improvement in transport systems within the four DCC electoral divisions of Beaminster, Bridport, Chesil and Marshwood Vale (as existing at the adoption of the constitution).
Additionally, WATAG will seek to achieve sustainable improvement in the transport links between the defined areas, neighbouring counties and elsewhere.
Prompted by Dorset County Council, WATAG was established in June 2001. The WATAG membership provides a forum for people with transport interests from Dorset County Council (DCC), West Dorset District Council (WDDC), the Dorset Association of Parish and Town Councils (DAPTC), Dorset Community Action (DCA), rail, bus and road transporters and other concerned groups and citizens. A meeting is held (usually in Bridport) once every two months.
