WEST Yorkshire fire chiefs are on the lookout for people to join an ethics watchdog.

The plea comes after fire authorities were ordered to set up a group to monitor conduct by councillors who serve on the fire authority.

Two vacancies exist on the standards committee at West Yorkshire Fire Authority.

Fire chiefs said candidates should not belong to a political party but ideally should have experience of working on committees.

Appointments will be for three years. Meetings are at the fire HQ in Birkenshaw.

Travel, subsistence and an allowance can be claimed for meetings attended.

The closing date is Friday, October 24.
