The committees normally meet on a 6 weekly basis to consider issues and reports included in a Scrutiny Forward Work Programme, which is developed at the beginning of the Municipal Year. Additional meetings are sometimes arranged if required and special or joint-meetings may be held to consider urgent or cross-cutting issues.
The Scrutiny Committees are politically balanced to reflect, as far as possible, the political composition of the Council as a whole. The Chairs and Vice-Chairs of Committees are appointed at the beginning of each Municipal Year for a period of one year (e.g. May 2010 to May 2011).
