Constitutional Review - Scrutiny Committees

Decision Maker: Executive

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

2.1 The Labour Group has requested a review based on a continued assumption that there will be five Scrutiny Committees and eight Executive Portfolios (i) how scrutiny arrangements can more adequately reflect other internal structures, including the existing Council directorates and Executive portfolios and (ii) how to be as agile as possible in scrutinising the large number of cross-cutting projects which are currently underway (e.g. Public Safety and Protection, Health and Social Care, Digital by Design)

Decision:

The Executive has recommended that the Council Meeting adopt the revised Scrutiny Committees set out in paragraph 2 of the report, subject to the inclusion of the ‘Local Plan’ within the remit of the Economy and Regeneration Scrutiny Committee, from the commencement of the 2017/18 Municipal Year.
