The Chair of the Scrutiny Committee has submitted a report which updates Council on the activities of scrutiny and other non-executive Councillors since the last meeting of Council.

Council is invited to comment on and note the report.

Council had before it the report of the Scrutiny Committee Chair.

Councillor Simmons moved the report. The executive board had considered several reports from the committee and adopted their recommendations. He outlined the work of the two standing panels and three review panels, in particular the Finance Panel’s work on the budget and their forthcoming discussion on European funding opportunities, and thanked the Chairs of the panels.

Council noted the report without comment.
