The Scrutiny Panels

Economy and Environment Scrutiny Panel

The Economy and Environment Scrutiny Panel looks at areas such as planning, highways, housing, regeneration, markets and conservation. This may involve looking at the work of the council in these areas, and also the work of partner agencies and organisations. The panel may offer advice or make recommendations on policy development to the cabinet or council, or look at decisions of the cabinet and, if appropriate, ask them to reconsider. They may also make recommendations to partner agencies in certain circumstances.

So far this year the panel has looked at issues, including carbon reduction, the joint waste contract with the City of Bradford MDC and the recycling policy.

For the current list of issues we have discussed see scrutiny reviews.
