Scrutiny meets as a ‘task and finish’ panel, so the dates and times to meet will be flexible and as needed, rather than set out for the year.

Members come from our other formal panels and groups; however, anyone can apply and training will be offered.

The panel will look much more deeply into a particular part of the housing service, requesting information, meeting and interviewing officers and contractors, and then making specific recommendations for improvement.

This is a ‘resident led’ option but we will always offer appropriate support to the panel.
