The Council held its first Scrutiny meeting since lockdown today. This is one of the meetings where councillors challenge the council on its decision making.

The meeting was broadcast on You Tube for the first time with councillors and officer joining the meeting from home.

Comments from myself and my Lib Dem councillor colleagues Craig Martin (North Lodge) and Amanda Hopgood start at 55 minutes in.

We raised concerns including about care home decisions, cuts to help for the homeless during the crisis and concerns about all local AAP budgets being ring fenced for Covid specific issues.

We also commented on where the council and staff had done a good job.
