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.

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.
