Committee Details

Community committees hold at least four public meetings a year, where ward councillors make decisions about services and priorities for the local area.

Community committees also host a series of workshops which consider issues that concern you and explore how you can influence decisions on things such as environmental improvements, community safety, health and wellbeing and employment.

Areas covered by this committee are:

·  Adel and Wharfedale

·  Guiseley and Rawdon

·  Horsforth

·  Otley and Yeadon

To observe the meetings, members of the public can access the live webcast of the meeting, or watch it at a time convenient for them via the link to the YouTube webcast stream, which can be found on each individual committee meeting webpage (link to list of committee dates linked here).

Open Forums

At the discretion of the Chair a period of up to 10 minutes may be allocated at each ordinary meeting of a Community Committee for members of the public to make representations or ask questions on matters within the terms of reference of the Community Committee. The period of time may be extended at the discretion of the Chair. No member of the public shall speak for more than three minutes in the Open Forum, except by permission of the Chair.

The committee also allocates funding every year to both community projects and youth activities. Small grants of up to £500 and large grants over £500 are available.
