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 Inner East Community
Committee are:
- Burmantofts and Richmond Hill
- Gipton and Harehills
- Killingbeck and Seacroft
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

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 (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 contactcommunitycommitteefunding@leeds.gov.uk.
You will be contacted if your submission is to be
heard.
