Report of the Deputy Chief Executive (Corporate Direction).

The Scrutiny Commission gave consideration to draft terms of reference for a joint overview & scrutiny body with Blaby District Council in order to scrutinise the Community Safety Partnership. It was noted that there had been an informal merger of the partnership in the two authority areas since 2011 and that work was commencing towards a formal merger. Joint scrutiny was an essential part of this process. It was reported that there would be an annual joint meeting of both Scrutiny Commissions with the host authority and chair alternating. It was further noted that a full report for approval of the merger and setting up of the joint committee would be considered by council during the following municipal year.

RESOLVED – the terms of reference be endorsed and RECOMMENDED for approval by Council.
