Scrutiny at the Council

Overview and Scrutiny plays a vital role in the decision-making and policy development processes at Epping Forest District Council. It provides a resource for the Council to research and develop new policy, review existing practices and in holding the Executive to account.

How We Work

In our scrutiny role we have formed a number of Panels. These are split between Standing Panels (work that has to be undertaken each year) and Task and Finish Panels (single one-off reviews).

You can see the agendas and minutes online.
