Purpose

This report sets out
recommendations from Scrutiny for the consideration of
Cabinet.
These recommendations originate
from the meeting of the Homes Sub-Committee on
19 June 2025, Streets &
Environment Sub-Committee on 24 June 2025 and the
Children & Young People
Sub-Committee on 1 July 2025.
 
Scrutiny’s
recommendations highlight potential opportunities for the Council
to
enhance monitoring and
evaluation of delivered work, and to find more equitable
funding solutions.
 
Should these recommendations be
taken forward, they could help deliver on the
priorities in the Executive
Mayor’s Business Plan, including balancing the
Council’s
books, delivering sustainable
services, and promoting good governance (Outcome 1,
Priorities 1 and 4), ensuring
that Croydon is a cleaner, safer and healthier (Outcome
4, Priorities 3 & 5), and
that children and young people in Croydon have the
chance
to thrive, learn and fulfil
their potential (Outcome 3, Priority 3).
