Daphne Dapping

Councillor Dapping is portrayed by actress Jo Kendall, and is the character responsible for putting Brittas in charge of the new sports centre in Whitbury New Town. In the first episode, when - within minutes of arrival, Brittas is already upsetting staff and causing strikes - Dapping quickly regrets who she has put in charge.

Councillor Dapping only appears in the very first episode and also the Series 2 episode "Safety First"; in the latter, she falls from a fire escape and injures herself, and is replaced by the harsher Councillor Drugett.
