Attending Scrutiny Meetings and Suggesting Topics for Scrutiny

Listening to the views and concerns of local residents is an important aspect of the work of Overview and Scrutiny. You can get involved in the process by attending scrutiny meetings, or suggesting topics for scrutiny.

Your suggestion will be considered by the Chairman of the relevant Scrutiny Committee, and we'll get back to you and let you know whether your request has been accepted, or if there is an alternative course of action that would address your concern.
