Have your say on Scrutiny?
Scrutiny is an essential part of ensuring that local government remains transparent, accountable, and open, resulting in improved public policies and services.
The principal power of a Scrutiny Board is to influence the policies and decisions made by the council and other organisations involved in delivering public services.
Do you know of an issue which you think Coventry's Scrutiny Boards should look into? Suggest one online! For more information click link below
