Submit Request for Scrutiny Review
Go straight to form Request for a Review
You can submit a request for a scrutiny review to be undertaken by the relevant overview and scrutiny commission. The issue you believe should be investigated must affect residents of this district. However, as commissions are able to undertake external scrutiny reviews, the matter does not necessarily have to relate to this council's responsibilities and functions and can concern other local authorities, government departments or, in fact, any organisation.
What happens next?
- After you have submitted the form requesting a scrutiny review, which is provided in the link below, the council's Scrutiny Officer will contact you within 10 working days.
- He may need to seek further information from you on your request.
- The Scrutiny Officer will then submit your request to the relevant scrutiny commission. You will be informed of the date of the meeting when this will take place.
- The commission will decide whether it wishes, or is able, to undertake the suggested review.
- If it agrees to do so, then it will be scheduled into the commission's future work programme.
- You will be informed of the commission's decision and, if your request has been successful, the Scrutiny Officer will keep you fully informed of its progress.
