About

The Scrutiny Commission is part of Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council's Overview & Scrutiny function, established under the Local Government Act 2000 to improve public services. It reviews and scrutinises decisions made by the Council's Executive, acting as a critical friend in policy development and review.

Its role is advisory, meaning it can make recommendations but does not have executive decision-making powers. The commission's work aims to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of council services for residents.
