The Overview and Scrutiny Committee is the
Council’s overarching scrutiny committee. The Committee
is responsible for overseeing and scrutinising the whole range of
the Council’s functions and responsibilities, as well as
other public service providers’ work and its impact on the
local community. The Committee’s remit also extends to
all matters which impact on the economic, social and environmental
wellbeing of those who live, work, study or use services in the
borough. It is also responsible for undertaking oversight and
co-ordinating activities of the scrutiny function as a whole.
The Committee comprises the Chair, three
Vice-Chairs and an additional five members for each meeting
(the Committee’s
membership at each meeting will comprise nine councillors, plus
relevant co-opted members).
In
addition the Committee will establish scrutiny commissions to
undertake reviews of specific matters identified in the scrutiny
work programme or as a result of Overview and Scrutiny Committee
meetings.
