Speaking at Scrutiny Committees

There are four Scrutiny Committees which can scrutinise, review decisions made or actions taken in connection with council functions:

• Scrutiny Management Board - The board has overall responsibility for the direction and management of Scrutiny, to ensure that non-executive members make an effective contribution to the improvement and development of the council, our services and other external public services for the benefit of North Northamptonshire
• Place and Environment Scrutiny Committee - This committee reviews and scrutinises several of our services including transport, housing, highways, community safety, leisure, tourism, the environment and waste
• Corporate Scrutiny - This committee reviews and scrutinises the our budget and spending, together with performance monitoring of our services
• Health Scrutiny - This committee carries out our statutory role in scrutinising health services for North Northamptonshire

The terms of reference for each committee can be found in our Constitution.
