Inner North Community Committee

Community Committees were set up in Leeds to ensure that the views and opinions of everyone in its diverse communities were heard and represented and informed any decision making that took place. They hold four public meetings a year, where Elected Members make localised decisions that affect communities, in particular around funding for projects that address priorities agreed by the committee.   Community Committees are involved in engagement activity with local communities, which consider issues that concern its residents. This local engagement may influence decisions on things such as environmental improvements, community safety, health & wellbeing, employment, as well as issues that affect young people.   Areas covered by the Inner North Community Committee are:   ·  Chapel Allerton ·  Headingley and Hyde Park ·  Little London and Woodhouse ·  Moortown   Community Committees also have a number of budgets that they are responsible for, allocating funding every year for both community projects for adults and youth activities for young people. Small grants are available for up to £1000 per ward and large grants are available for anything over £1000 in a single ward.   Want to know more, or get involved?
