Corporate/Governance Overview and Scrutiny Committee

The Corporate/Governance Overview and Scrutiny Committee oversees the council's overall scrutiny function and ensures other scrutiny committees work together effectively. It undertakes reviews on matters not covered by other committees, acts as a sounding board for new legislation and best practices, and coordinates responses to budget proposals.

This committee scrutinises the council's corporate core, including portfolios related to the Leader, Deputy Leader, Legal, Finance, Enforcement, Communities, Engagement, and Environment. It monitors and reviews decisions and actions across these areas, making recommendations to the Cabinet or Council as appropriate.
