Improving Places Select Commission

The remit of the Improving Places Select Commission (IPSC) is to undertake scrutiny activity in respect of all matters pertaining to the Borough of Rotherham as a place. In broad terms, this remit relates to business and economic development, employment, emergency planning, environment, housing, climate change, leisure, culture and tourism, transport and highways, trading standards and environmental health.   The breadth of functions and services that fall within the Commission’s remit is significant and varied, with some cross-over with the work of the other scrutiny commissions.   Meeting webcasts   Our meetings are webcast so that you can see how the council makes decisions that affect you.
