Overview and Scrutiny
Overview and scrutiny at Harrogate Borough Council aims to improve the services that you use by reviewing the work of the council. It plays a role in the policy development process, reviews issues of local concern and makes recommendations on the way services are provided.
The Overview and Scrutiny Commission holds the Executive (the cabinet) to public account for its actions. It is an important role for the non-executive council members and it is done on behalf of the residents in the district. As a resident of the Harrogate district you are welcome to take part in this process by attending meetings or submitting requests for review. Read more to find out how.
