Havering's Overview and Scrutiny Board
Havering's Overview and Scrutiny Board recently recommended a minimum two-year tenure for its members to enhance scrutiny effectiveness.
The Havering Overview and Scrutiny Board recommended in March 2026 that its members serve a minimum two-year tenure. This recommendation aims to enhance the effectiveness of scrutiny processes, allowing members to gain sufficient experience and expertise.
This proposal emerged from the board's self-evaluation of its work during the 2025/26 period. A report to the board highlighted that a one-year term is insufficient for members to fully grasp their roles and contribute effectively to reviewing Havering Council's decisions and actions.
