WAVERLEY Borough Council’s watchdog overview and scrutiny committees is inviting residents to suggest ideas and issues to review.

Over the coming months the council’s four O&S committees will be considering a wide range of topics to help make Waverley a better place to live and work.

They include reviewing Waverley’s waste and recycling contract, assessing the levels of health inequalities in the borough and helping the council deliver a financially sound budget at a time of significant cuts to local government funding.

Meetings are open to the public and webcast at www.youtube.com/waver

John Williamson, leader of Waverley’s opposition Farnham Residents group and chair of the scrutiny co-ordinating board, said: “Overview and scrutiny is a vital part of local democracy and provides an opportunity for people to get involved in improving public services and policies.

“It is important that the council hears about the matters that are important to our residents. We are inviting local people to help set the agenda for our scrutiny work. 

“Topics put forward should relate to the services delivered by Waverley Borough Council and/or matters which affect people living and working in the borough.”
