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
Open Forums - Public
Participation in Remote Community Committee Meetings
Although Community Committee meetings are
currently being held remotely due to the restrictions introduced in
response to the Coronavirus pandemic, there are still ways in which
members of the community can observe and interact with Community
Committee meetings:
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).
Or, to make contributions towards the
Committee’s ‘Open Forum’ item, members of the
public are invited to make written submissions up to 3 working days
in advance of the meeting on any matter which falls within the
Committee’s terms of reference. These will be read out under
this agenda item at the meeting and considered by the Community
Committee. Each submission can be no
longer than 60 seconds in duration and a maximum of 3 submissions
will be heard at each Committee meeting. To make an Open Forum
submission for your Community Committee, please contact communitycommitteefunding@leeds.gov.uk.
You will be contacted if your submission is to be
heard.
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.
For more information about the committee or
details on how to make an application for funding please contact
the Communities Team on: communitycommitteefunding@leeds.gov.uk
or on the telephone number 0113 3785808.
