Each year the Overview and Scrutiny Committee chooses topics to include in the Annual Work Programme.
We welcome feedback from residents on what would be a good topic for the committee to look at. We are looking for things that affect you and your community. This could be something that is the Council’s responsibility, or the responsibility of one of our external partners.
