Report of the Chair of Overview and Scrutiny

The Chair of Overview and Scrutiny, Councillor Chris Mason, introduced the report and highlighted the breadth of subject matter the committee had examined. He thanked former Members of the committee and existing ones and the Democratic Services team for their support.

He believed the committee was now challenging Cabinet Members to a greater degree and there was increased input as policies were being developed.

In the debate that ensued, the Leader wished to put on record her thanks to Members who serve on the committee and welcomed the changes which had taken place in terms of holding the executive to account.

Thanks were also given to the Chair of O&S for his hard work in preparing the meetings and the respect in which business was conducted.

RESOLVED (unanimously) THAT

the Annual Report of Overview and Scrutiny 2020-21 be noted.
