STAGE 1: RECOMMENDATIONS ARISING FROM SCRUTINY
From: Cabinet - Wednesday, 28th January, 2026 6.30 pm - January 28, 2026
This sets out recommendations from Scrutiny for the consideration of Cabinet. These recommendations originate from the meeting of the Homes Sub-Committee on 29 September 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), and that Croydon is a cleaner, safer and healthier place, a borough we’re proud to call home (Outcome 4, Priorities 3 and 4).

Scrutiny Stage 2 Responses to Recommendations arising from: Streets & Environment Sub-Committee on 16 September 2025 and the Scrutiny & Overview Committee on 23 September 2025
From: Cabinet - Wednesday, 28th January, 2026 6.30 pm - January 28, 2026
This report invites the Cabinet to approve its response to the Scrutiny recommendations originally presented in the Stage 1 report to the Cabinet meeting held on the 19 November 2025. This response includes: - Action plans for the implementation of agreed recommendations, or; - Indicating where a recommendation is already in progress, or; - Reasons for rejecting the recommendations. Following approval by Cabinet, the response to the scrutiny recommendations will be reported back to the next meeting of either the Scrutiny and Overview Committee or the relevant Sub-Committees. The Constitution requires that in accepting a recommendation, with or without amendment, from a Scrutiny and Overview Committee or Sub-Committee, Cabinet shall agree an action plan for the implementation of the agreed recommendations and shall delegate responsibility to an identified officer to report back to the Scrutiny and Overview Committee or Sub-Committee, within a specified period, on the progress made in implementing the action plan. Scrutiny’s recommendations highlight potential opportunities for reinforcing performance management, strengthening governance, and increasing transparency for residents. They are presented for consideration, focusing on options that may improve oversight of performance, and service delivery. Should these recommendations be taken forward, they could help deliver the priorities in the Mayor’s Business Plan - embedding good governance (Outcome 1, Priorities 1 & 4), and ensuring that Croydon is a cleaner, safer and healthier (Outcome 4, Priority 1).
