1. The Committees
At St Edmundsbury, there are two scrutiny committees:
The Overview and Scrutiny Committee
The Overview and Scrutiny Committee, and its panels, seek to improve the delivery of policies and services by:
- holding the Cabinet to account for its actions;
- testing whether existing policies and practices are effective and efficient and suggesting how they might be improved; and
- ensuring the rigour and objectivity of performance management and service reviews.
The Policy Development Committee
The Policy Development Committee, and its panels, will take a similar broad view of the council's work, advising on the development and implementation of new policy and corporate projects.
