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.
