There will also be the opportunity for residents to ask questions at the end of the debate.

Council leader Coun Peter Box said: “The next cabinet meeting is especially important as we will have to make some very difficult decisions as we discuss our budget for the forthcoming year.

“We hope as many people as possible will be able to attend and ask us their questions.”

Once agreed by cabinet, the budget will then be presented to a meeting of the full council on Tuesday, February 28.

People can tweet their questions on the day to @mywakefield.

The meeting will be live-streamed.
