Committee details

The Overview and Scrutiny function is central to the constitution. Government guidance makes it clear that Overview and Scrutiny committees should be powerful committees which meet in public to discuss and make recommendations on the development of policies and hold the executive to account for its actions. They also have a key role in considering other matters of local concern.

The four areas of remit for the Scrutiny (Community and Regeneration) Committee are:

1.    Community Reviews and Accountability

2.    Public Health

3.    Major Projects

4.    Crime and Disorder
