About

This reviews and scrutinises the overall strategic direction and corporate policies and priorities of the Cabinet and the Council overall.  This includes the budget and its four year Medium Term Financial Strategy.  It also scrutinises those functions which are not specifically within the scope of another overview and scrutiny committee.  It also oversees and co-ordinates the work of all overview and scrutiny committees.

 

The Scrutiny Commissioners are responsible for leading the Overview and Scrutiny process, deciding on priority issues for Overview and Scrutiny Committees and areas that would be worthy of reviewing via a time limited Scrutiny Review Panel.

 

All meetings of the Committee are broadcast live online, an archive of which can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWFpwBLs6MnUzG0WjejrQtQ
