Scrutiny self-assessment and review of scrutiny arrangements
Council noted the minutes of the Democratic Services Committee of 9 September 2024. It approved the committee's three recommendations on scrutiny, which is the process by which councillors check the work of the Cabinet and council services. A formal review of scrutiny will wait for feedback from a Welsh Government conference in autumn 2024. Meanwhile, existing good practice will be shared across the four scrutiny committees. If that conference does not take place by November 2024, a formal review will be considered so that changes can be made by 2025/2026.

Items are linked when their titles share most of their words and they fall within 18 months of each other. Councils don't number reports across meetings, so a few links may be wrong, and a step may be missing if its title changed a lot. Each step links to the meeting, where the council's own papers are.
