Consideration was given to the report of the Assistant Director – Corporate which asked the Policy Development Panel to approve the scoping documents for the proposed joint scrutiny topics for 2024/25, and to agree the appointment of three members to each of those Joint Task and Finish Groups.
The Scrutiny and Policy Officer introduced the report and stated that:
- The Chairmen and Vice-Chairmen of scrutiny committees across the S&ELCP had recently reviewed potential joint scrutiny topics for 2024/25;
- Appendix A listed the proposed topics for joint scrutiny task groups, which would comprise three members from each council, as follows:
‘To review the scope of the Sub-Regional Leisure Facilities offer’:
- SHDC membership would be drawn from the Policy Development Panel and three SHDC members would be requested to join the task group;

- The final report, drafted by the Scrutiny Officer, would be presented to the Panel in September 2024; and
- In respect of questions relating to the leisure contract and the contract procurement process, members would receive more information at a briefing scheduled for 2 July 2024.
‘Enviro Crime Enforcement Contract’
