Apply to be a co-opted member of a council committee

We recruit co-opted members every three years. The next recruitment will be in spring 2027, but if vacancies arise before then we may recruit sooner.

If being a co-opted member interests you, please contact us with your name and email or postal address at:

Email: scrutinycontact@wakefield.gov.uk
Phone: 01924 306736 or 01924 305133

We will send you an application pack when the next round of recruitment begins. 

In the meantime, why not come and observe our committee meetings. You can find out when they are taking place below:

We publish the agenda for each meeting 5 working days before the meeting.
