Issue - meetings

The Scrutiny Committee Chairman is to submit a report providing an overview of the work done by Scrutiny during 2020/21.

The Scrutiny Annual Report 2020/21 was presented to the Committee. In introducing the report, the Chair thanked Democratic Services for the support provided to Scrutiny and for the work on the annual report.

Members commented that they thought the report was very good and it was useful to see a summary of work Scrutiny has carried out over the course of the year. It was particularly noted that the Covid recovery task and finish groups have been interesting and worthwhile.

It was stated that an area for improvement for next year’s report could be that the ‘Outcome’ column, on the table listing the summary of items considered, could be more detailed.

Another comment made was that Scrutiny could receive more Portfolio Holder presentations in the next Municipal Year.

RESOLVED

1. The Committee APPROVED the Scrutiny Annual Report 2020/21.

2. The Committee RECOMMENDED the report is presented to Council.
