The next Public meeting of the West Dorset (Western Area) Transport Action Group (WATAG) will be held on Thursday 29 January 2026 at 18.30
Bridport Town Council Offices, Mountfield, Bridport DT6 3JP
The evening will start with our Annual General Meeting, at which the Chair will give a quick review of the last 12 months. We’ve had a busy year – with a number of new committee members bringing a wider range of expertise – and also relaunched a much improved website.
We then continue with our Public Meeting. This will include a presentation of WATAG’s initial “Vision for the Future” of public transport in our area. We believe that the frequency of bus services MUST improve but we need to demonstrate to both Dorset Council and the bus operators that investment will work for everyone. We will share our thinking on this – it is very much “work in progress” and we encourage feedback!
The meeting starts at 18.30 (doors open from 18.00) and we aim to finish by 20.00. As always, you will be most welcome to share your views and raise questions about local bus and rail services. We have invited representatives form Dorset Council and rail and bus companies to join us if they wish, to provide their own updates.
Anyone interested in public transport issues is encouraged to attend. We are also keen to widen our committee, so if you are interested in joining our Advisory Group, please let us know, either in advance or after the meeting.
This will be a ‘hybrid’ meeting, and a link will be provided to enable those unable to attend in person to join us on Zoom. Please consider joining our email list to be sent the link, or you are welcome to contact us at watag@hotmail.co.uk
