The Panel felt that the Scrutiny Review overall had been interesting and thought provoking.  Members believed that it had been successful in considering improvements to the current process and providing focus.  It had been a wide ranging subject but in the future it would be important to ensure that the advice and recommendations proposed were followed to ensure the best possible outcome for all concerned – Councillors, outside organisations, Link Officers, the community and the Council.

 

RESOLVED

 

The final report would be prepared for reporting to the Overview and Scrutiny Commission on 25 June 2018, followed by the Governance Committee in September 2018.
