Corporate Resources and Economy Scrutiny Committee
Purpose of committee
The purpose of the Council’s scrutiny committees is to review the performance of local services, to scrutinise decisions and actions taken on matters within their terms of reference, to contribute to the review and development of council policy, and to make recommendations to enhance and improve service delivery for residents.
The council’s scrutiny committees will act as a ‘critical friend’, offering constructive challenge to ensure that local services are delivered effectively and efficiently, making the best use of resources.
In carrying out their work, the committees will have regard to the council’s missions, priorities, and ways of working. Scrutiny Committees will consider the needs and priorities of local people, make use of evidence to inform their findings, examine opportunities for embedding best practice in council services, and will seek to promote equalities, joined up working, and early intervention and prevention approaches.

Corporate Finance, Capital Programme, Asset base, Investment / New Build programme, Economic infrastructure and Inclusive Economy, Procurement and Social Value, Council Tax, Community financial resilience, Communications, Resident Voice / Experience, Complaints, Inclusion, Equalities, Corporate Performance, Corporate policy development, Corporate Risk Register, Digital Services, HR, Electoral Services, Statutory Utilities and Emergency Planning
