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:
·
Armley
·
Bramley and Stanningley
·
Kirkstall
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 £350 and large grants over £350 are
available.
