Welcome to the Salisbury and South Wiltshire Scrutiny Site. The Council's Scrutiny Service has been created to promote the value of scrutiny in modern and effective local government - not only to hold local decision makers to account but also to create a constructive dialogue between the public and its elected representatives - to improve the quality of public services.
This site aims to:
promote the value of scrutiny
raise the profile of the work undertaken locally
provide links to scrutiny resources
encourage local people to participate in the scrutiny process
We believe scrutiny should:
Enable strong external challenge to the performance of public authorities and public sector organisations
Ensure public services are responsive to the needs of the public
Engage the public as active citizens
Secure the effective promotion of community well being at the local level
