Decision details

The Council considered the report of the Director of Strategy, Performance and Governance presenting an annual update on the activities of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee.

The annual report for 2021 / 22 had been agreed by the Overview and Scrutiny Committee at its last meeting and was set out in Appendix 1 to the report.  It was noted that the annual reporting arrangements ensured a degree of accountability to the Council.

Councillor V J Bell advised how it had been her pleasure to serve as Chairman of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee for the past year.  Councillor Bell outlined some of the work that had been undertaken and how the Working Group set up to review scrutiny requests coming forward from Members had worked well.  In addition to the scrutiny items reported in the Appendix Councillor Bell advised that there was one item raised by Councillor White outstanding and hoped this would be taken forward by the new Committee. 

RESOLVED that the annual report of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee for 2021 / 22 be accepted.
