I agree JaneJ with your comments. Scrutiny in my opinion is an absolute waste of time, the Executive Board rule, end of story.
I have noticed in the past couple of months, Councillors asking questions in scrutiny the answers to which are in the report before them which presumably they have supposed to have read.
Maybe the time has come for elected councillors to sit only on a Community Council and leave it to the 10 know alls. Think of the cost saving to the City.
