Time limited Task and Finish Groups scrutinise specific Council policies, services or other relevant local issues which impact on the lives of Luton residents. The topics for the reviews are primarily selected at a ‘Scrutiny Away Day’ held for Council Members, Officers and partners although urgent items may come up from time to time that might require a review.
Scrutiny cannot, however, deal with individual complaints or individual decisions of any regulatory committee such as Licensing or Development Control.
Once a task and Finish Group has come to a conclusion and developed a set of recommendations, a final report, including the Group’s workings, findings and recommendations with justifications will be produced for the Overview and Scrutiny Board.
