Chair of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee
Councils are noting annual scrutiny reports and reviewing service areas like parking.
Hounslow Council's Overview and Scrutiny Committee, led by Councillor Katherine Dunne, recently saw its 2025/26 Scrutiny Annual Report noted by the Borough Council in September 2026. The report detailed past reviews into carer support, housing standards, and council finances. It also outlined future scrutiny priorities, including the medium-term financial strategy and youth crime, reflecting the committee's ongoing work.
Separately, Newham Council's Overview and Scrutiny Committee reviewed the proposed scope and terms of reference for a comprehensive borough-wide parking review in July 2026. This initiative aims to ensure services are fair and transparent, examining areas such as parking supply, permit zones, and charging structures, in response to resident and business feedback.
