Working Groups

The work of the Full Council and its committees are supported by working groups, which are set up for specific purposes or to consider single issues in greater detail.

Working groups do not have decision-making authority but can report to and make recommendations to either the Full Council or to the committee that established it. Working group meetings are informal and although they are generally not open to the public, members of the public can be invited to participate in meetings if they have a specific interest or involvement in the matters being discussed.

Minutes of all working group meetings are made public either through the Full Council or committee agendas.

The following working groups are currently active:

• Assets-on-and-around Monmouth Beach
• Dorset Council

Other working groups may be formed or re-convened as and when required.
