Overview and Scrutiny helps to provide
accountability and transparency in local public services. It is an
opportunity for non-executive councillors to review the policies,
decisions and services of the Council and other organisations
operating in Nottingham to ensure that they meet the needs of the
community and, where necessary, makes recommendations for
improvement.
The Housing and City Development Scrutiny
Committee has been established to discharge the functions conferred
by the Localism Act 2011 and other relevant legislation for matters
relating to housing and city development, including economic
development, employment and skills, business growth and inward
investment, property and asset management, housing, transport,
traffic and parking.
The Committee is made up of non-executive
councillors appointed to reflect the political balance of the
Council. It usually meets six times each year and its meetings are
open to the public.
