Scrutiny Work Programme 2025-26

2 stories · discussed at 1 council meeting · 1 council

Croydon Council's 2025-26 scrutiny work programme may change due to potential government intervention, as sub-committees review key programmes.

Croydon Council's Scrutiny Work Programme for 2025-26, which outlines key areas for council oversight, may be subject to change following indications in July 2025 that the government was considering appointing commissioners. This potential intervention could impact the Future Croydon Transformation Plan (2024–2029) and its governance, according to a July 2025 story.

Meanwhile, the Scrutiny Health & Social Care Sub-Committee met in February 2026 to discuss the Older People Needs Assessment, the Neighbourhood Health and Care Implementation Programme, and the Adults Living Independently Transformation Programme. The sub-committee noted findings from these discussions.

No upcoming meetings are currently scheduled to specifically discuss the Scrutiny Work Programme 2025-26. The programme sets out Croydon Council's planned agenda items for its scrutiny committees and sub-committees for the 2025-26 municipal year.
