Scrutinising the decision makers

Is there an issue affecting you and your community that you would like to see Lancaster City Council look into? If so the city council wants to hear from you.

Scrutiny is important to local democracy and exists to hold decision-makers to account and ensure that issues of concern to local residents and visitors are addressed.  

It could be a problem in a local area, a council service, or an issue which you feel the council, using its community leadership role, should take a lead in improving.  

Based on these issues, the committee can make a number of recommendations to the council or other agencies, which can help to make real improvements to the lives of residents in the district.   

If you think there is a particular issue that should be scrutinised email scrutiny@lancaster.gov.uk.   

Alternatively write to: Overview and Scrutiny Committee, c/o Democratic Services at Lancaster City Council, Town Hall, Lancaster, LA1 1PJ.  

All Overview and Scrutiny meetings are open to the public and are mostly held at Morecambe Town Hall.
