The age-old debate came up once again at a recent scrutiny committee. Chairman of the performance panel Cllr Caroline Horrill gave a brief verbal update on the group s findings. She was met with a swarm questions from committee members – most doubting the transparency of the panel s documents. Cllr Dominic Hiscock said: I know these documents are publicly available, but when did the public get a chance to comment in consultation? They were uploaded to the website just a couple days before this meeting. In response Cllr Horrill said: All documents flow through the process. The point of the panel is to analyse these documents, spending hours, and summarising them for you in this committee.
