Corporate Overview and Scrutiny Committee

The Corporate Overview and Scrutiny Committee scrutinises the council's financial strategy, budget, and recovery plans, holding key officers and cabinet members accountable. It examines the council budget, medium-term financial plan, capital programme, and budget monitoring. The committee also oversees transformation plans, asset disposals, and disinvestments. It provides pre-decision scrutiny and constructive challenge to the Cabinet on policy development, corporate plans, and improvement plans, considering the community impact of these decisions. Matters affecting multiple scrutiny committees are referred here to prevent duplication.
