Ask Cabinet
Thursday, September 04, 2025
Residents are being invited to put their questions to Wakefield Council’s Cabinet.
A Q&A session will take place on 16 September, after the formal Cabinet meeting is finished. The elected members who make up the Cabinet are the Council’s key decision makers. And will all be in attendance.
“The Cabinet makes important decisions about services in your local community. We want to hear from you about what matters most to you and your community, what’s working well, and what could be better.
“Send your questions in and there’s a chance it might be answered live at the new Q&A session. You can follow the meeting live online, watch the recording later or come along.
“Your feedback will help us to continue to focus our work on what’s important to you. Deliver on the things that matter the most in our local communities. And to make sure every pound we spend makes the biggest difference it can.”
Cllr Denise Jeffery
Leader of Wakefield Council
Any resident in the district can submit a question about any local issue. The deadline for submissions is Sunday 14 September.
Questions can be submitted by emailing yourdistrict@wakefield.gov.uk. Residents will need to provide their full name and address. But only people’s first name and the area they live in will be used when questions are asked at the meeting.
As many pre-submitted questions as possible will be answered in the Q&A session.
The Q&A session will begin once the Cabinet, which starts at 10.30am, ends. Both the Cabinet meeting and the Q&A session will be streamed live at Wakefield Council - Cabinet meetings - YouTube
The Cabinet meeting and Q&A session will take place at Carleton Grange Community Centre in Pontefract. Both are open to the public to attend in person.
