Document O&S Improvement Plan 2008//09

A self-evaluation of the Overview and Scrutiny function at Northampton was completed in January 2009, with support from Local Government peers. The evaluation had some very positive outcomes, acknowledging the achievements made in Overview and Scrutiny, some of which have been noted as examples of best practice. Challenges and areas for improvement were also suggested and these were the subject for debate at an Overview and Scrutiny Improvement Plan workshop. This led to the adoption of an Overview and Scrutiny Improvement Plan in July 2009.
