Scrutiny Committees
Scrutiny Committees are locally based groups which sit underneath and work closely with our Board. They monitor our performance and ensure that local issues, priorities and interests are acted upon. Each committee has a Local Improvement Budget to spend on local priorities. Three committees are now in place for the East, West and Rushcliffe areas.
What is the role of the Scrutiny Committees?
The Scutiny Committees are locally based groups which sit underneath and work closely with the our Board. While monitoring our performance they will ensure that local issues, priorities and interests are acted upon. Each committee will have a local improvement budget to spend on local priorities.
The key aims of the committees are to:
- provide a new and exciting way to work together to improve services and the communities we serve
- make sure we deliver what we said we would
- listen to what residents and customers are saying and make sure the Board has this information
- comment on how we are doing
- suggest changes and improvements to how we do things
- ensure we work in partnership with residents, customers and other local organisations, and
- use the Local Improvement Budget for the benefit of the area.
Who sits on the Scrutiny Committees?
Scrutiny Committees will work on a partnership approach with residents, staff and independent people working together. Each committee will be made up of six individual residents, four independent people and will be chaired by a member of the Spirita Board. Staff will also attend and support the committees. In two areas, the East and Rushcliffe areas, the Chairman is also a local resident.
