Residents in Tendring are being invited to suggest topics to be scrutinised by members of Tendring District Council (TDC).
The authority has two overview and scrutiny (O&S) committees which examine a range of issues and submit reports containing recommendations for action – based on their findings – to TDC’s Cabinet.
Each committee – the Resources and Services O&S looks at TDC services while the Community Leadership O&S examines other topics – sets a work programme each summer, and the public is being asked to suggest areas of inquiry – including delivering high quality services; building sustainable communities for the future; strong finances and governance; a growing and inclusive economy; and community leadership through partnerships.
Cllr John Chittock, chairman of the community leadership O&S committee, said: “A key part of our role as councillors is to work for you in holding to account other public sector partners working in Tendring, not only asking tough questions but also making constructive recommendations – so please tell us what you’d like us to look at.”
Ideas should be sent to [email protected] by May 17 for consideration by the committees.
