Overview & Scrutiny Commission and Overview and Scrutiny Panels
Overview and Scrutiny Commission scrutinises decisions the executive is planning to take, those it plans to implement, and those that have already been taken/implemented. The three Overview and Scrutiny Panels carry out in-depth reviews which focus on delivering the Council Plan. The new structure makes it easier for elected members to get involved in supporting policy development, pre-decision input as well as scrutiny. Through their work programme, Overview and Scrutiny hold the authority's decision-makers to account.
