The Overview and Scrutiny Committee of Barnet Council met on Monday 28 October 2024. The meeting focused on the review of Capita contracts and the proposed increases to fees and charges for the upcoming year. Key decisions included agreeing brief extensions to the Capita contract to avoid service disruption during the election period and to allow for further investigation into business rate collection. The committee also recommended the establishment of a cross-party member reference group to discuss ongoing arrangements related to the Capita contract. Additionally, the committee reviewed proposed increases to various fees and charges across council services, including those for cemeteries, parking, and adult social care, with a general uplift of 4.5% proposed for many services.
