Purpose of committee

The West of England Partnership comprises the 4 Councils that were previously Avon, in order to jointly progress key infrastructure projects and funding bids. In 2008, two Joint Committees with delegated Executive powers for Transport and Waste were put in place for the four Councils. To reflect this, in order that the delegated powers can be scrutinised effectively, a Joint Scrutiny Committee was devised, without prejudice to the power of each Council to undertake separate scrutiny.
