The Overview and Scrutiny Management Board will receive quarterly reports from each of the scrutiny panels.

The quarterly reports of the Overview and Scrutiny Management Board and scrutiny panels were submitted for consideration.  The Chair reported that there was no report this time from the Support Services Panel as the meeting had been moved due to budget scrutiny commitments.  Members commented on the different reporting formats and styles and praise was given to that of the Growth and Prosperity Panel which was particularly eye-catching.  With regard to the report of the Customers and Communities Panel, Councillor Ball highlighted that the attendance statistics were incorrect and that both Councillors Martin Leaves and Mrs. Bragg had attended twice.

The quarterly reports were noted and it was agreed that future reports should be consistent in terms of how Member attendance was reported, the Growth and Prosperity reporting format being the preferred option.

The Panel will be provided with its quarterly scrutiny report.
