East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s Overview and Scrutiny Committees

East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s Overview and Scrutiny Committees are keen to hear from parish and town councils and members of the public who would like to put forward a topic they would like the committees to scrutinise. 

There are five overview and scrutiny committees and they consider a wide variety of topics covered by the Council and its partners, including local NHS services, Humberside Police and Humberside Fire and Rescue Service. This year, topics they have looked at include school buildings and school funding, potholes, controlled parking zones, special expenses, Council assets, local drug trends, maternity services, cancer services, road safety and sheltered housing. 

The committees can produce recommendations and reports offering advice on policies, budgets and service delivery.  They focus on issues affecting residents and visitors to the East Riding and can also make recommendations to partner organisations. 

Please note that scrutiny committee is not a forum for receiving complaints and nor can it get involved in planning application matters.

If you would like to put forward a suggestion, please email scrutiny@eastriding.gov.uk or telephone 01482 393204 to talk to a member of the scrutiny team.  The deadline for submitting ideas is 8 January 2016.
