Meetings
The council meets every eight weeks usually – there are some variations because of public holidays.
Council meetings are held in the Council Chamber, Council Offices, Huddersfield Road, Holmfirth, on Monday evenings and usually commence at 7.30pm unless there is another prior meeting. Members of the public are welcome to attend meetings to listen to discussions.
Prior to the beginning of every council meeting, there is an opportunity for members of the public to put questions or to raise issues with the council.

Committees
The Council has a number of standing committees which deal with regular items and recommend to the full Council actions to be taken, or decisions to be approved. When necessary other Sub-Committees and Working Groups are convened, which report directly back to the main Committees and ultimately the Council. The Committees are regulated by Standing Orders, and Financial Regulations.
