The Overview and Scrutiny Committee supports
and scrutinises the work of the Cabinet and the Council. It
conducts reviews and submits reports and recommendations which
advise the Cabinet and the Council on its policies, budget and
service delivery.
The Overview and Scrutiny Committee also
monitors the decisions of the Cabinet. Any four councillors can
‘call-in’ a decision that has been made by the
Executive but not yet implemented. This allows the Overview and
Scrutiny Committee to consider whether the Page 1 Wyre Borough
Council Constitution Summary and Explanation - Part 1 Part 1.01/2
Updated: 14/06/2018 decision is appropriate and if necessary,
recommend that the Cabinet or an individual Portfolio Holder or in
limited circumstances the Council reconsider the decision.
The Committee may also be asked by the Cabinet
or the Council to undertake reviews or draw up responses to
consultation documents.
Members of the Cabinet cannot be Members of
the Overview and Scrutiny Committee.
Overview and Scrutiny Committee meetings are
held in public. It is useful for anyone wanting to attend the
meeting to contact us first via democratic.services@wyre.gov.uk
