The Council’s Scrutiny Programme Committee holds the Council’s Cabinet to account and during the course of the year arranges Q & A sessions with each Cabinet Member.
Each Q & A session will explore the work Cabinet Members have done in their role, looking at priorities, actions, achievements and impact.
Is there anything that you think the committee should ask them about?

Any suggestions made will be looked at by the committee in developing its questioning strategy and the key ones will be put to relevant Cabinet Members when they appear before the committee.
