Overview and Scrutiny Commission
Purpose of committee
The Overview and Scrutiny Commission and its Task and Finish Groups support the work of the Cabinet and the Council as a whole. They allow citizens to have a greater say in Council matters by holding public inquiries into matters of local concern. The Commission has a set work programme which is decided by the members either by picking forthcoming reports from the Forward Plan or by members requesting that the Commission scrutinise a certain issue. These lead to reports and recommendations which advise the Cabinet and the Council as a whole on its policies, budget and service delivery. They can ‘call-in’ a decision which has been made by the Executive but not yet implemented and may recommend that the decision be reconsidered.
