Issue - meetings

In response to the following Notice of Motion adopted by the County Council at its meeting on 16 October:

“That the County Council will ensure that medium and long term actions arising from Reviews undertaken by its Scrutiny Panels and Committees are properly processed and passed on to the new Authorities in both East and West.”

The County Performance & Overview Committee has received the attached Schedule of major Scrutiny reviews undertaken by the County Council and resolved that it be brought to the attention of the new Authorities.

The Committee is requested to receive the Schedule of County Council Scrutiny Reviews.

Consideration was given to the schedule of scrutiny reviews that had been carried out by Cheshire County Council.  These had been forwarded in accordance with the Notice of Motion adopted by the County Council at its meeting on 16 October 2008 “That the County Council will ensure that medium and long term actions arising from reviews undertaken by its Scrutiny Panels and Committees are properly processed and passed on to the new Authorities in both East and West.”

In considering the most appropriate way of assessing this information it was requested that the major Scrutiny Reviews undertaken by Macclesfield, Congleton and Crewe & Nantwich Borough Councils be compiled into a similar schedule, to include the terms of reference, recommendations and actions of the scrutiny reviews.  It was requested that this information be submitted to the next meeting of the Committee with a view to it being considered in detail by the Performance and Monitoring Scrutiny Panel.

RESOLVED –  that the schedule be noted and further expanded to include information on major scrutiny reviews undertaken by Macclesfield, Congleton and Crewe & Nantwich Borough Councils, for consideration at the next meeting of the Committee.
