Cabinet and Corporate Services
Scrutiny Committee
The Cabinet and Corporate Services (CCS) Scrutiny Committee has
a membership of eleven Councillors and is currently chaired by
Councillor Judith Blakeman. The Committee meets regularly
throughout the year and all meetings are open to members of the
public, unless otherwise indicated. For information about upcoming
meetings dates and associated paperwork, and for full details about
the Committee’s membership, please see the
Committee documents.
Amongst other things, the committee challenges the way the
Council plans to spend your money in its annual budget and seeks
ever greater value for money. Its remit also covers community
safety issues.
As well as holding decision-makers to account, each year the
Committee focuses its attention on a number of in-depth
reviews.
Reports of previous reviews undertaken by this Committee can be
found in the Scrutiny Library.
