Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) Scrutiny Committee

The Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) Scrutiny Committee reviews Devon County Council's approach to the upcoming reorganisation of local government. It examines the authority's engagement with the government and other partners during the implementation phase, as well as its preparedness for the changes and the management of associated risks to ensure a safe and legal transition.

The committee considers the effectiveness of Cabinet and council decisions concerning LGR and makes reports and recommendations as needed. Its role is to scrutinise and advise on the council's handling of this significant structural change.
