A new scrutiny structure has been established which reflects the six themes of the Sustainable Community Strategy and the importance of maintaining a strategic overview of corporate issues.

"Welcome to Overview and Scrutiny at Newcastle. We hope that you will find the following web pages helpful and would welcome your views and input to this important aspect of the Council’s work.
Overview and Scrutiny enables front line Councillors, and the external representatives on the Scrutiny Panels to influence the policies and decisions which shape and improve services for local communities. The web pages include links to the Scrutiny Handbook and details of our meeting arrangements, work programmes and reports. We would like to hear your views about the way the Council and other major organisations in the City provide services.
