APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE (Agenda Item 1) There were no apologies for absence. It was noted that Councillor Adam Bennett, Cabinet Member for Community, Environment and Enforcement planned to attend some future meetings of the Residents’ Services Select Committee. Thanks were formally recorded to previous committee members, including those re- elected and those no longer serving, for their contributions. 170. DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST IN MATTERS COMING BEFORE THIS MEETING (Agenda Item 2) There were no declarations of interest. 171. TO RECEIVE THE MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS MEETINGS DATED 22 APRIL AND 14 MAY 2026 (Agenda Item 3) RESOLVED: That the minutes of the meetings dated 22 April 2026 and 14 May 2026 be approved as an accurate record. 172. TO CONFIRM THAT THE ITEMS OF BUSINESS MARKED AS PART I WILL BE CONSIDERED IN PUBLIC AND THOSE MARKED PART II WILL BE CONSIDERED IN PRIVATE (Agenda Item 4) It was confirmed that all items of business were marked as Part I and would be considered in public. A short overview and scrutiny training session for Members would follow the public meeting. 173. SERVICE BRIEFINGS (Agenda Item 5) The following officers were in attendance to present brief service briefings to the Committee Members present: Dan Kennedy (Corporate Director of Residents Services) Julia Johnson (Director of Planning and Sustainable Growth) Richard Webb (Director of Community Safety and Enforcement) Jordan Groves (Head of Waste and Green Spaces) Carlos Montecino (Operations and Resources Manager) Fiona Sweet (Museums & Heritage Manager) Cllr Wayne Bridges, Cabinet Member for Residents Services, was also in attendance. He welcomed newly appointed councillors and expressed a commitment to working collaboratively throughout the term. It was noted that the presentations reflected the significant contribution and expertise of Council staff, many of whom possessed extensive service experience across departments. The importance of utilising this expertise through effective scrutiny to drive improvements was highlighted, alongside strong support for frontline visits as a means of gaining detailed operational insight. The Committee’s forthcoming work programme was acknowledged as demanding, and Members were encouraged to engage with officers and directors for support as required. Attention was also drawn to upcoming changes, including the introduction of the Love Clean Streets app, with an emphasis on early Member engagement to support its successful implementation and enhancement of frontline services. Councillors sought clarification regarding the adequacy of staffing levels to support planned service efficiencies and whether sufficient officer resource was in place to deliver the proposed vision. In response, it was clarified that responsibility for enforcement no longer sat within the Cabinet Member for Residents’ Services portfolio; however, it was emphasised that the effectiveness of the service relied less on the number of staff and more on the strategic approach adopted. It was explained that recent changes had introduced a multi-agency enforcement panel, bringing together services such as Highways, Planning, CCTV, and Waste, which had previously operated in isolation, to enable a more coordinated and intelligence-led approach to addressing issues across the Borough. A further question sought to identify key challenges for the term ahead, to which it was responded that fly-tipping remained a significant and widespread issue. It was stated that a robust, zero-tolerance approach was being pursued, including strengthening enforcement actions and increasing fines to the maximum level, with proposals due to be considered by Cabinet. The Chair noted that enforcement would be a key area of focus for the Committee, with particular emphasis on cross-party collaboration to address issues such as fly-tipping. The inclusion of enforcement within a Cabinet portfolio was highlighted as demonstrating a clear commitment to tackling these challenges. While it was acknowledged that public attitudes also contributed to issues like fly-tipping, it was emphasised that robust and consistent enforcement action by the Council remained essential. Appreciation was expressed for the dedication and professionalism of Council staff, illustrated through an example of innovative and proactive work undertaken within library services to support neurodiverse children. Members were reminded of the importance of recognising staff contributions alongside undertaking scrutiny responsibilities. RESOLVED: That the Residents’ Services Select Committee noted the content of the service briefings and the verbal update from the Cabinet Member for Residents’ Service. 174. INTRODUCTION TO OVERVIEW & SCRUTINY IN HILLINGDON (Agenda Item 6) Mark Braddock, Senior Democratic Services Manager, welcomed Members to the meeting, particularly noting the presence of five newly elected Councillors and highlighting the value of fresh perspectives in the scrutiny process. He introduced himself in his role overseeing democratic governance and acting as the Council’s Statutory Scrutiny Officer, and outlined the support provided by the Democratic Services Officer, Liz Penny, in coordinating the Committee’s work. It was explained that the purpose of the meeting was introductory, with the report setting out the role of overview and scrutiny in ensuring democratic accountability, holding the Cabinet to account, and supporting service improvement for residents and partner organisations. Members were advised that subsequent agenda items would cover service areas within the Committee’s remit, the Cabinet’s forward plan, and the development of a multi-year work programme, with further detailed training to follow after the meeting. RESOLVED: that the Select Committee noted the report and sought any clarifications required. 175.

Richard Webb, Director of Community Safety and Enforcement, and Charlie Cairns, CCTV Programme Manager, were in attendance to respond to questions from the Committee in relation to the CCTV Service. Officers were thanked for the informative site visit to the CCTV room. Members sought clarification as to what constituted adequate staffing levels within the CCTV Control Room. It was explained that staffing requirements varied depending on operational demands, leave arrangements and major events, making it difficult to identify a fixed number. It was advised that, in an ideal situation, 12 members of staff would be required to fully manage the control room and undertake both reactive and proactive monitoring activities. Councillors raised a query regarding a reported reduction of £120,000 in CCTV funding referenced in a Cabinet report. Officers advised that no reduction in revenue funding for the CCTV service had been agreed for the current year and that staffing levels would remain unchanged, with two additional posts having been approved to support housing-related functions. It was confirmed that the reported £120,000 pressure related to the previous year's outturn position and was attributable to funding transfers and accounting adjustments rather than a reduction in the current year's CCTV budget. Questions were raised by the Committee regarding the impact of trees obstructing CCTV cameras and whether consultation took place before trees were planted. Officers advised that the principal issue arose from mature trees having grown to a size that obstructed existing CCTV infrastructure rather than from the planting of new trees. Communication with the Green Spaces team was maintained where obstructions occurred, with selective pruning undertaken and alternative camera placements used where necessary. Uxbridge High Street was cited as an example where camera positioning had been adapted to mitigate tree-related obstructions. In response to a further question about the speed of action taken by Green Spaces, officers stated that requests were generally dealt with promptly and that communication between the teams was good. Following pruning works, camera checks were undertaken to ensure adequate visibility and signal transmission had been maintained. Members noted the strong relationship between the CCTV service and the Metropolitan Police Service and enquired whether police officers could be based within the CCTV Control Room, as was reported to occur in some other authorities. It was confirmed that discussions had taken place with police management and an invitation had been extended for officers on restricted duties to be based within the Control Room. It was explained that the arrangement would provide benefits for both organisations and that training would be provided; however, the offer had not been taken up due to police staffing pressures. Wandsworth was cited as an example of a borough where such arrangements existed. Councillors enquired as to the number of CCTV cameras currently out of operation. Officers did not have an exact figure available but noted that several cameras were offline, primarily due to reaching the end of their operational life. Regular system checks were undertaken by both contractors and CCTV staff, with records maintained ... view the full minutes text for item 181.

Residents’ Services Select Committee - 7 July 2026 Classification: Public CCTV SERVICE Committee name Residents’ Services Select Committee Officer reporting Charlie Cairns; CCTV Manager Papers with report None Ward All HEADLINES This report provides an overview of the Council’s CCTV service, the scope of that service, how it is funded and the outcomes it achieves for residents and businesses in the Borough. It is intended to provide background support for the Committee’s CCTV agenda item discussions. RECOMMENDATIONS That the Residents’ Services Select Committee: 1. Notes the information in the report on the Council’s CCTV service and asks questions to clarify any matters of interest. SUPPORTING INFORMATION Introduction Since 2018, the Council has made substantial investments in its CCTV infrastructure to enhance both technical and operational capabilities. The Council now operates an extensive network of nearly 3,000 cameras across the Borough covering public space, corporate facilities and social housing. These cameras are proactively monitored to support a strategy aimed at deterring and preventing anti-social behaviour and crime. This includes real -time coordination with police to respond to incidents and the provision of evidential material to support prosecutions. The Council’s CCTV network consists of:  471 Town Centre cameras  1,178 Corporate cameras  1,158 Housing cameras The locations of the cameras in the CCTV network have been determined through consideration of a range of factors including crime data, road network usage, anti-social behaviour reports and hotspots, resident petitions and corporate requirements. The Council’s CCTV service is also a key part of the Council’s investigative capacity for environmental crime (fly tipping, fly posting, etc.). Dedicated environmental enforcement cameras are provided and located where there is more frequent fly tipping and at entrances on roads vulnerable to fly tipping to capture vehicle movements where that could assist identifying those responsible. Residents’ Services Select Committee - 7 July 2026 Classification: Public The positioning of CCTV cameras is dependent on the availability of suitably strong mounting points with a power supply. Typically, CCTV cameras are installed on dedicated mounting columns or on lamp columns of sufficient height and strength. The Council’s CCTV monitoring team also support the provision of body worn video equip ment used by different Council teams when carrying out du ties which may involve higher risk of confrontation. The CCTV team maintain the Council’s body worn video cameras, instruct officers on their use and monitor the images from those cameras whilst they are in use. Legal Controls The provision of public space CCTV cameras is subject to legal controls . Under the statutory Surveillance Camera Code of Practice , local authority CCTV systems must only be used for clearly defined purposes , not unjustifiably intrude on privacy , be publicly transparent ( visible, supported by signage, provide information on contact points), and be subject to ongoing review and audit. As such, the installation of each camera requires a documented rationale and D ata Protection Impact Assessment. The information recorded by the CCTV system is subject to data protection law (UK General Data Protection Regulation and The Data Protection Act 2018 ). As a result, the Council’s processing of the data held by the system must:  Have a lawful basis.  Be for specific purposes.  Be minimised as far as possible to achieve that purpose.  Be subject to retention controls.  Be subject to security and access controls. In addition, the Council must also be mindful of the Human Rights Act requirements that apply to CCTV systems, in particular the right to privacy. The Information Commissioner’s Office is the regulatory body that oversees the use of CCTV systems in this country, and they have enforcement powers to ensure compliance with these legal controls. Control Room Staffing In February 2019, a business case outlining improvements to Hillingdon’s CCTV monitoring and surveillance operations was approved by the Council Leader. As a result, the monitoring of the Council’s CCTV transitioned to a directly managed in -house service f rom mid -March 2019, alongside the implementation of an enhanced 24/7 operating model. The original introduction of a 24/7 monitoring service was designed to deliver a number of benefits for residents. These include fostering stronger partnerships with key stakeholders —particularly the Metropolitan Police —thereby enhancing the Borough’s capacity to detect, reduce, and prevent public order offences and criminal activity. Additionally, the service aims to improve public confidence and perceptions of safety within the community. In 2023, following a review of the control room staffing model and in response to financial pressures on the Council , a revised and reduced monitoring arrangement was agreed and subsequently introduced. As a result, there are now 8 control room operatives and supervisors, managed by the CCTV Manager. The CCTV Operatives and Supervisors operate on a three-shift system, covering the following time periods: Residents’ Services Select Committee - 7 July 2026 Classification: Public  07:00 – 15:00  15:00 – 23:00  23:00 – 07:00 The CCTV control room is a controlled environment preventing unauthorised access and has four workstations. There is a direct Police radio connection to the control room enabling the CCTV operatives to monitor and respond to Police incidents and provide information to Police Officers to support their response to those incidents. The control room staff also have access to the Uxbridge BID town centre radio network to connect them to BID Town Centre Ambassadors. PERFORMANCE DATA The tables below show the number of incidents the control room operatives have monitored each month. MONTHLY INCIDENTS WITH POLICE INTERACTION 2025 2025 January 640 February 555 March 625 April 791 May 720 June 716 July 740 August 739 September 730 October 564 November 622 December 600 Total 7928 AVERAGE DAILY PROACTIVE INTERACTION WITH POLICE 2025 2025 January 20.6 February 19.8 March 20.1 April 26.3 May 24 June 23,8 July 23.8 August 23.8 September 24.3 October 18.2 November 20.7 December 19.3 Residents’ Services Select Committee - 7 July 2026 Classification: Public The CCTV control room operatives also identify and monitor incidents proactively (‘self-generated incidents’). Whilst the CCTV control room operatives do not record self - generated incidents separately, on avera ge around 20-30 monitored incidents are self -generated each month in addition to Police generated interactions . These are not necessarily crime related incidents but will include safeguarding concerns such as homeless people identified and reported to Thames Reach for support and intervention, searching for high-risk missing people, and beggars who are reported to ASB Team for intervention support / enforcement action (if persistent or aggressive begging is reported). The service also supports where police are notified of vehicle breakdowns causing danger to the public, encampments causing anti-social behaviour, and large gatherings such as protests, car rallies, and potential serious youth violence. As a matter of routine, the CCTV team will liaise with the Uxbridge BID team to monitor known shoplifters and potential town centre anti-social behaviour. The CCTV team also identified 133 incidents of fly tipping in 2025 which were of evidential significance, and which were passed to the ASB Team for investigation. The CCTV control room operatives have to deal with multiple demands on their time during their shifts. In addition to responding to live police radio communications, they also have to monitor and respond to urgent email requests, phone calls and visitors to the CCTV control room (Police Officers attend the CCTV control room for planned appointments to review footage but there are also times when the investigation is time critical and immediate access is required). Similarly details of a vehicle of interest could be circulated by the Police and the CCTV operatives would add the details to at ‘hotlist’ so that they are notified if the vehicle is identified by automatic number plate recognition cameras and the Police can be immediately notified of the vehicle’s location and direction of travel. For major or specialist investigations, including serious cr ime enquiries, the CCTV team frequently undertake large-scale footage reviews and downloads across multiple cameras over extended timeframes. This detailed work supports thorough investigations and can play a crucial role not only in evidencing offences but also in reviewing and, where necessary, challenging accounts presented by defendants. Maintaining adequate staffing levels is key to sustaining this level of service. When fully staffed, the team can manage multiple demands simultaneously , such as p rocessing evidence, supporting live incidents, and facilitating officer access to footage . Where staffing is reduced or the control room is not operational, responsiveness becomes more limited. This can affect the ability to provide immediate support for liv e incidents, enable timely officer access to review or collect footage and respond quickly to urgent, custody-related requests. Case Example: Live CCTV Support – Violent Incident Date: 24/02/2026 The CCTV control room provided real-time operational support to police officers during a serious violent incident involving a male reported to be in possession of a machete, resulting in a stabbing. CCTV operators immediately identified and tracked the incident across multiple cameras sharing Residents’ Services Select Committee - 7 July 2026 Classification: Public a live feed directly with Metropolitan Police teams and the Police helicopter . The victim was located with the suspect observed returning and attempting a further attack. The CCTV O perator supplied continuous, accura te descriptions of the suspect, including confirmation of the weapon, enabling responding police units to maintain situational awareness. When the suspect fled and was temporarily lost from view, the live feed and CCTV commentary allowed the helicopter unit to reacquire and track the individual. Importantly, ground officers initially engaged with a bystander in error. The CCTV operator, supported by the live aerial feed, were able to correct this in real time and direct officers to the correct suspect. The individual was quickly located, detained, and arrested on suspicion of GBH, possession of a bladed article, and drug-related offences. Operational impact and value of staffed CCTV The incident described above demonstrates the significant operational value of a fully staffed CCTV control room:  Immediate live intelligence: Operators actively directed cameras to follow the suspect and provided real-time commentary, enabling rapid and informed police decision-making.  Accurate suspect identification: Continuous monitoring ensured the correct individual was identified, avoiding misidentification and potential loss of the offender.  Coordinated response: Live video support to both ground units and the police helicopter ensured effective coordination across resources.  Swift apprehension: The suspect was located and arrested during the incident, preventing further harm and removing a dangerous individual from the community. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The costs of the CCTV network and monitoring is mainly met from Council funds, with a contribution from the Uxbridge Business Improvement District (BID) of £38,400 annually towards staffing costs. In addition, the Housing Revenue Account contributes to the costs of maintaining and monitoring the cameras installed in support of the Council’s social housing functions. The Council’s Parking Revenue Account also contributes to the overall costs of the CCTV service to reflect the provision of CCTV cameras in our car parks. In addition, the Council charges £180 for evidential downloads for insurance companies and legal firms when requested. BACKGROUND PAPERS NIL

Richard Webb, Director of Community Safety and Enforcement, was in attendance to respond to Members’ questions in relation to the Parking Annual report. Members sought further information regarding the success of the Moped scheme in Ruislip High Street since its implementation. Officers advised that the scheme had initially been considered reasonably successful, particularly in deterring motorcycles from occupying parking bays while waiting for delivery orders. However, it was reported that continuing issues had been experienced with some riders returning to the same locations and that outcomes had been mixed. Enhanced enforcement activity had been introduced, with additional Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) being issued, and officers confirmed that efforts would continue to ensure the scheme operated effectively. Councillors enquired whether, should the scheme prove more effective in future, it could be rolled out to other high streets and town centres. It was explained that implementation was complex and required consideration of local circumstances, including alternative motorcycle parking provision and the wider impacts of restrictions. It was noted that objections had been received from motorcycle associations during the Ruislip scheme consultation. Members were advised that expansion would require public consultation, amendments to Traffic Management Orders, Cabinet approval, signage changes and ongoing enforcement activity. Although the process was neither quick nor inexpensive, officers confirmed that options could be considered where a clear need had been identified. The Chair observed that greater enforcement appeared necessary within Ruislip High Street and that enforcement activity should be targeted at the times when issues were most prevalent rather than at quieter periods. It was suggested that, if successful, the scheme could provide a model for wider implementation across the Borough. The Committee asked whether proactive solutions were being developed for delivery riders rather than solely responding to complaints. Officers advised that Ruislip High Street had been selected partly because alternative facilities already existed nearby, including provision made by McDonald's for motorcycle riders. It was emphasised that the objective was not to prevent delivery activity but to manage it more effectively within town centres. Officers confirmed that the impact of delivery riders was now being considered as part of broader parking, town planning and spatial planning work, although legacy infrastructure and historic layouts often limited available alternatives. A further question was asked regarding the likely timescales for implementing similar schemes elsewhere. Members heard that the Ruislip High Street scheme had taken approximately one year from the point at which Cabinet requested proposals to the implementation of measures on site. Members were informed that future schemes would also be likely to take around one year due to consultation requirements and the need to identify suitable alternative arrangements. The Committee queried whether the increase in PCNs was generating additional income and how any income could be reinvested to benefit residents. Officers confirmed that PCN issuance had increased during the previous year and had risen further following recent changes. It was explained that approximately 70–80% of PCNs were ultimately paid and that the average income received per paid PCN was around ... view the full minutes text for item 182.

The Council’s Parking Services team provides a range of services to residents, businesses and visitors to the borough. These include the provision of parking permits, parking bay suspensions, cashless parking facilities, pay and display machines and car park management, as well as ensuring compliance with bus lanes and moving traffic and parking restrictions across the borough and dealing with Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) correspondence and processing. The Council aims to provide an effective and efficient service for residents and visitors t o the borough, whilst working towards the Council’s wider goals in keeping residents safe, helping the local economy to thrive, taking steps to become a sustainable borough and implementing modern technology. This year, the Council has remained committed to putting residents first and ensuring everyone has access to convenient, accessible public parking that offers value for money. Preferential rates for HillingdonFirst Card members continued, including free short-stay parking in many areas to support local businesses. Revenue collected is reinvested in maintaining and further improving the service, and this year a range of improvement projects have been completed in our car parks and on-street parking areas to improve safety and accessibility. An important improvement was the introduction of a new automatic number plate recognition camera equipped car to modernise the way in which the Council monitors parking in resident parking management schemes, providing the ability to monitoring areas covered by those schemes more quickly. This provides greater value for money for residents paying for parking in those areas by deterring parking without permits in those areas. The Council is committed to using its parking enforcement powers to maintain safe roads and ensure residents are not impacted by unlawful or inconsiderate parking. This report sets out details of the Council’s parking activities through 2025/26.

Hillingdon is the second largest borough in London, covering 42 square miles. As the home of Heathrow Airport, it is also London's foremost gateway to the world. It shares its borders with Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hounslow, Ealing, and Harrow. In addition to Heathrow Airport, Hillingdon is also home to RAF Northolt and Ruislip Lido. Why Regulate Parking? It is estimated that in Britan 66% of all journeys are made by car, and at the start and end of these journeys, motorists must use some form of parking provision. It is therefore essential for the public, that effective parking management is in place. The aim being to:  Improve road safety.  Ensure good access and accessibility.  To reduce congestion.  To support the local economy.  To manage kerbside space.  Balance the needs of all road users.  Reduce emissions and contribute to Improving the environment.  Provide funding for parking and wider transport improvements.  Contribute to the delivery of Mayors transport scheme and general transport strategy and objectives.

London Borough of Hillingdon – Parking Annual Report 2025/26 Page 7 of 21 Parking Initiatives 2025/2026 Tackling anti -social parking and improving high street access To help reduce parking pressures and improve safety on Ruislip High Street, the council has agreed that motorbikes will no longer be allowed to use pay and display bays. This change is expected to limit problems caused by fast food delivery riders and make more parking spaces available for shoppers and passing trade, supporting local businesses. The council made the decision in November following a formal consultation which saw 56 per cent of respondents supporting the idea. Prior to this, the council and ward councillors had received numerous complaints from local businesses and shoppers citing haphazard driving practices, anti - social behaviour and a lack of available parking spaces. Ruislip High Street has a variety of popular restaurants and fast fo od outlets, many of which offer delivery services. In recent years, this has led to a significant increase in drivers using motorbikes and parking as close as possible to the relevant business – often in ranks of vehicles occupying bays intended for cars. This reduces the parking availability for shoppers, despite the council already providing free, dedicated parking provision for motorbikes elsewhere in the high street. Partnership to produce on -street charging points In early June, the council agreed to join a partnership of London boroughs for the collaborative procurement of new electric vehicle (EV) charging points. The council will join with Brent, Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham, Haringey and Harrow to apply for gran t funding from the Department of Transport’s Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) programme for the supply and installation of 1,673 new EV charging points across the borough. The group will apply for £7.5 million government funding to jointly secure a high- value contract for the supply, installation, operation and maintenance of charging points on the public highway in each borough. The partnership is expected to appoint an operator in early 2026, with types of chargers and suitable locations to be finalised by the council afterwards and, if applicable, consulted upon through public consultation. New ANPR technology rolled out to tackle nuisance parking In May, the council’s Cabinet agreed to lease a vehicle fitted with Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) to clamp down on unauthorised parking. The technology allows Civil Enforcement Officers (CEOs) to carry out more checks across a wider area in less time. The cameras, linked to the council’s parking permit database, highlight potential contraventions to the CEOs, who follow up with a manual verification and check for valid parking approvals, such as visitor permits and blue badges. Not all alerts result in a fine. The vehicle will also sup port CEOs enforce the council’s Public Spaces Protection Order to stop taxis and private hire vehicles waiting in residential streets near Heathrow Airport. As a result of the effectiveness of the technology, and to create a more sustainable parking enforcement service by reducing fixed camera maintenance costs, Cabinet also agreed for some fixed School Keep Clear (SKC) cameras to be decommissioned. Instead, the ANPR car will monitor adherence and road safety at school sites, with SKC cameras maintained i n the 10 locations with the highest offences recorded. Parking on SKC lines can result in an automatic fine. London Borough of Hillingdon – Parking Annual Report 2025/26 Page 8 of 21 Enforcement Enforcement is carried out by our external contractor APCOA Parking UK, who are responsible for managing our on/off-street enforcement and reviewing our CCTV camera captures. Legislation governs the issuing and progression of Penalty Charge Notices. The r elevant statutory instruments are: On-Street and Off-Street Enforcement - Traffic Management Act 2004 (as amended) Parking CCTV -Traffic Management Act 2004 (as amended) Moving Traffic - London Local Authorities and Transport for London Act 2003 (as amended) Bus Lanes - London Local Authorities Act 1996 (as amended) Penalty Charge Notice Banding The level of a Penalty Charge Notice is set by the Mayor of London and the Secretary of State for Transport and applies to all London Boroughs. For parking contraventions there are two different bands with different levels of fees depending on the type of offence. In 2025/2026 Hillingdon operated as a Band B borough. Higher Lower Band A £160 £110 Band B £140 £90 Higher level penalties apply to contraventions which are considered more serious, such as parking on yellow lines or where an obstruction is caused. Lower-level penalties apply generally where parking is permitted but the regulations are contravened, such as overstaying on a pay and display bay. Bus lane and moving traffic contraventions have one level banding, this is detailed below. Bus lane contraventions £160 Moving traffic contraventions £160 Penalty Charge Notices The below table shows the total number PCN’s issued each month during the financial year.

They are required to monitor all parking restrictions across the whole borough and also attend enforcement requests when they are received by the enforcement hotline. CEOs patrol in the borough in all weathers and deal with a high level of conflict and abuse by drivers and members of the public. The Council regular works with the Metropolitan Police to ensure any reported incidents of verbal or physical assaults against CEOs are investigated appropriately. The Council will not tolerate verbal or physical abuse towards Council officers or their contractors from residents, business or visitors to the Borough.

Depending on the contravention different legislative appeals processes are in place. Any appeals must be made in writing, either online via our website or by post to the address provided on the PCN. Once the Council has received a challenge, representation or appeal against a PCN the case is placed on hold and remains on hold until it is reviewed by Parking Services. If a challenge or representation is made during the discount period as stated on the PCN then the case will be held at the discount amount and if the challenge or representation is rejected the discount amount would be re-offered. On and Off Street Parking PCN – Issued by a Civil Enforcement Officer (CEO) Informal Challenge: can be made after the initial PCN is issued by the CEO either by attaching it to the vehicle or handing it to the driver.

It is always advised to check the signs in place at the location of where you have parked. Outside of operating days and hours and on Bank Holidays you can park for free. The only exceptions to the above are the Leisure Centre Car Parks (Botwell , Highgrove, Platinum Jubilee and Hillingdon Sports and Leisure), Grainges and Cedars Multi Storey Car Parks and Ruislip Lido Main Car Park and Willow Lawn Car Park which are all operational Monday to Sunday including Bank Holidays. Charges and maximum stay vary depending on the individual location. Prices and terms and conditions will be displayed on each machine. PayByPhone Parking PayByPhone allows you to pay for parking on the go using an app or web browser on your mobile phone or tablet, eliminating the need to buy a ticket from a pay and display machine. Simply enter the location code for where you have parked, which can be found using the map function on the app or by looking at the signs in the car park or near the parking bay. The PayByPhone app also offers the option to be notified when your parking session is due to expire and to extend the parking session if necessary. HillingdonFirst Card Hillingdon residents (over the age of 18) can apply for a HillingdonFirst Card that offers preferential parking rates at our on -street parking bays and in our local car parks. The HillingdonFirst card can also be linked to a PayByPhone account, offering residents reduced parking rates without the need to carry their card. The majority of our parking bays offer 30 minutes free parking with a HillingdonFirst card, both at our pay and display machines and via PayByPhone. London Borough of Hillingdon – Parking Annual Report 2025/26 Page 14 of 21 Permit Zones and Car Parks Parking Management Schemes Stop & Shop Schemes Council Operated Car Parks Borough Boundary Hillingdon council operates 30 car parks throughout the borough. All locations allow residents to use their HillingdonFirst card and accept cash and card. London Borough of Hillingdon – Parking Annual Report 2025/26 Page 15 of 21 Controlled Parking Zones The council currently operates 7 5 different Controlled Parking Zones, know n in Hillingdon as Parking Management Schemes, throughout the borough. In most cases these are located close to Train Stations, High Streets, or the Airport and are implemented at the request and backing of the residents. Within each zone, a variety of parking permits are available, all of which are zone specific. Between April 2025 and March 2026, one new zone was implemented (RM4) and one zone was extended (NWH). Parking Permits For the application and issue of permits we operate an online virtual system, known as ‘My Parking Permit Account’. Once a vehicle has a valid virtual permit registered against its vehicle registration number the patrolling CEOs can check if a vehicle holds a valid permit by entering the registration number into their hand- held device. The below table summarises the total number of permits issued during the financial year. Depending on the type of permit, they are either issued for four weeks; three, six, nine or 12 months; or three years.

They cannot be applied for automatically through the online self-serve system. ***This is the total number of visitor permits issued, not voucher sessions. A visitor permit gives the resident access to the voucher session booking page. The first visitor permit applied for at a property provides 10 free all day voucher sessions. Residents can then top up each visitor permit by an addition 40 sessions, totally 50 sessions per visitor permit. If more sessions are required, the resident can apply for another visitor permit up to 9 at a property per year, this gives a maximum of 450 all day visitor vouchers per property per year.

These permits are only permitted to be used when the driver is required to attend the resident’s property to provide care. You are entitled to a Carer Permit if: your usual place of residence is within a Parking Management Scheme, and you require regular and ongoing care provided by an organisation or persons outside your household. The permit is issued to the applicant and must be kept at the address to which it has been issued. It should be displayed in the carer's vehicle during the time that care is being administered and at the end of the care session must be returned to the applicant. Business Permits Commercial properties operating within business zones may be able to apply for a business permit to be able to park in a designated business parking bay. Business addresses able to apply for a business permit would be defined as per the Traffic Management Order. With a valid business permit you can park in bays displaying a 'Business permit holders only' sign for that applicable business zone. Business permits will only be granted to those that require the use of the vehicle for the needs of the business, such as loading and unloading. They will not be granted for the purpose of commuter parking. Brown Badges If you are a Hillingdon resident and over the age of 65, you can apply for a Brown Ba dge free of charge. The badge allows holders to use dedicated brown badge bays, on the street, in council owned car parks and in some privately operated car parks in Hillingdon. Brown badge bays are located close to car park exit points and where possible near pay and display machines, as holders must pay the appropriate parking charge unless displaying a Blue Badge at the same time. A valid Brown Badge must be displayed clearly when parking in a Brown Badge Bay. Brown badges are issued for a period of 3 years and renewals are posted automatically. The total number of applications received during 2024/2025 was 715. As of 31st March 2025; 14,411 brown badges were active Car Park Permits Permits can be applied for in a select number of car parks within the borough of Hillingdon. There is a limited number of permits that can be obtained per car park; therefore, if you apply for a permit but there is no space available, your application will be placed into a waiting list. This permit does not guarantee you a space. For information on the available carparks, please visit Parking permits - Hillingdon Council London Borough of Hillingdon – Parking Annual Report 2025/26 Page 18 of 21 Car Parks – Park Mark Safer Parking About The Scheme The Safer Parking Scheme is a national standard for UK car parks that have low crime and measures in place to ensure the safety of people and vehicles. Each car park undergoes a rigorous assessment by specially trained police assessors and a Park Mark is awarded to each car park that achieves the challenging standards. The Safer Parking Scheme is managed by the BPA on behalf of Police Crime Prevention Initiatives Ltd, a subsidiary of the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) Car Parks Awarded The Council has ParkMark awards for 26 of the car parks enforced by Parking Services, these are as follows: • Blyth Road Car Park • Botwell Green Leisure Centre (Central Avenue) Car Park • Botwell Green Leisure Centre (Main) Car Park • Brandville Road Car Park • Community Close Car Park • Devon Parade Car Park • Devonshire Lodge Car Park • Fairfield Road Car Park • Grainges Yard Car Park • Green Lane Car Park • Harefield House Car Park • Highgrove Pool Car Park • Hillingdon Sports & Leisure Complex Car Park • Kingsend North Car Park • Kingsend South Long Term Car Park • Linden Avenue Car Park • Long Lane Car Park • North View Car Park • Oaklands Gate Car Park • Pembroke Gardens Car Park • Pump Lane Car Park • Rockingham Recreation Ground Car Park • Ruislip Lido Main Car Park • Sidmouth Drive • St Martins Approach Car Park • Willow Lawn Car Park London Borough of Hillingdon – Parking Annual Report 2025/26 Page 19 of 21 Blue Badges The Blue Badge scheme gives a range of parking concessions for badge holders and operates throughout the UK. Parking concession can vary between different boroughs. On-street parking In Hillingdon Blue Badge holders can park free of charge for an unlimited time in the following on-street bays: disabled bays, pay and display bays, free time-limited bays (known as stop and shop bays) and resident bays (except zone RL2). Maximum stay restrictions do not apply for Blue Badge holders when parking in these bays, except for Resident Management Scheme RL2, which has a 30-minute time limit for Blue Badge holders in all resident bays. Blue Badge holders can also park on single or double yellow lines, where loading restrictions do not apply, for a maximum stay of three hours. A time clock is required to be displayed alongside the Blue Badge to indicate the time of arrival. Off-street parking Blue Badge holders can park free of charge for an unlimited period in any council -managed car park. Blue Badge holders can park in any bay except for those specifically reserved for other use, as indicated by signs and bay markings ( e.g. permit holders only or Brown Badge bays - unless you have a valid Brown Badge, which you must display alongside the Blue Badge). Disabled Persons Parking Bays A disabled person's parking bay is a parking space marked on the public highway by a white painted box, with a sign indicating it's for Blue Badge holders only, and operational at all times. The Council can install parking bays solely for the use of disa bled motorists. We assist people with disabilities by providing bays close to their home wherever possible. However, even when a bay is provided in response to a request from a householder, the bay is available for any Blue Badge holder to use and is not specifically reserved for the resident. Disabled Bay Permits Residents who have a disabled bay outside their property can apply for a disabled bay permit. The permit is only valid in the disabled bay outside the resident’s property and does not grant the applicant exclusive use of the disabled bay; however, it does mean they do not need to display the blue badge in the vehicle when parked in said bay. London Borough of Hillingdon – Parking Annual Report 2025/26 Page 20 of 21 Parking Dispensations Suspensions Parking bays around the borough can be suspended at a cost for a number of reasons. The most common operating times of parking suspensions are 8am to 6.30pm, Monday to Friday; however, under certain circumstances, the suspen sion can be operational 24 hours a day. When a parking bay is suspended, notification signs will be erected on the nearest lamppost or street sign 7 to 5 days prior to the start of the suspension commencing. In emergency instances, such as a gas leak or bu rst water pipe, bays may be suspended without notice. If a suspension sign is in place at a location, the driver should check this sign to ensure they do not park during the suspended period. No vehicles are permitted to wait, park or load/unload in a su spended bay unless the vehicle has been specifically exempted on the suspension sign. Between April 2025 and March 2026, 374 suspensions were issued. Parking Waivers A parking waiver is a permission granted by parking services, that allows a vehicle to park in contravention of a traffic management order. Parking waivers are only granted when it is deemed necessary to park near a location when any alternative arrangemen t would be unsatisfactory, for example, removals, building maintenance or repair works. The activity for which a parking waiver is issued must be taking place in order for it to be valid. Between April 2025 and March 2026, 164 parking waivers were issued.

183. Policy Review Discussion & Guidance PDF 219 KB
The Chair introduced the agenda item relating to the Committee's policy review function and outlined several reviews undertaken in previous years, including alley gating, highway resurfacing practices, the voluntary sector's response to COVID-19, littering and fly-tipping, electric vehicle infrastructure, and road safety initiatives around schools. He explained that the purpose of the discussion was to generate potential topics for a future review rather than reach a final decision, with officers and Democratic Services subsequently considering the feasibility and scope of any proposals before presenting options to Members at a future meeting. Members were referred to the guidance and policy topic scorecard contained within the agenda papers. Councillor Kaur suggested a review of antisocial behaviour (ASB) in town centres and high streets, encompassing issues such as fly-tipping and wider behavioural concerns affecting residents. Councillor Dhesi proposed examining services and support available to people affected by drug dependency, noting increasing visible drug-related issues in local high streets and questioning whether sufficient support was being provided. The Chair advised that this topic would more appropriately fall within the remit of the Children, Families, Health & Care Select Committee but agreed to refer the suggestion to the relevant Committee Chair for consideration. Councillor Russell suggested a review focused on graffiti, including its removal, enforcement measures and action taken against repeat offenders responsible for tagging. Councillor Capps referred to discussions regarding CCTV and advised that another local authority had successfully used dummy cameras as a deterrent. He suggested that this could be explored as a possible option. The Chair agreed that a broader review of CCTV or related enforcement measures could be considered. The Chair also proposed a review of Hillingdon's heritage offer, including how the Council promoted heritage assets and encouraged resident engagement with facilities such as the Hillingdon Museum. In addition, he suggested that enforcement activities across the Council could form a comprehensive review topic, focusing on the resident experience, the coordination of different enforcement functions and issues such as ASB and fly-tipping. He acknowledged that any such review would need to be appropriately scoped given its breadth. Councillor Kaur further noted that, although littering and fly-tipping had previously been reviewed in 2020, the issue had since grown in significance and generated substantial casework for Members. She suggested revisiting the subject to assess what had changed since the earlier review and whether current approaches remained effective. In response, the Chair commented that it would be useful to explore whether perceived increases in fly-tipping reflected actual growth in incidents or improved levels of reporting, particularly through social media channels. The Democratic Services Officer advised that the various suggestions raised by Members would be taken away for further consideration and discussed with officers. It was proposed that potential topics be scoped and refined, in consultation with the Chair and Opposition Lead, before returning to the Committee in September with a shortlist of more fully developed options. Members were also advised that some suggestions might be more suitable as information reports rather than full policy reviews. It ... view the full minutes text for item 183.

Residents’ Services Select Committee – 7 July 2026 Classification: Public POLICY REVIEW DISCUSSION & GUIDANCE Committee name Residents’ Services Select Committee Officer reporting Liz Penny, Democratic Services Papers with report Appendix 1 – Guidance on undertaking policy reviews Ward All HEADLINES To discuss ideas regarding suitable policy review topics for the Select Committee. To assist, this report provides guidance on the Committee’s remit , an overview of how reviews can be undertaken, potential new and previous review topics and a scorecard to use to assess. RECOMMENDATIONS That the Select Committee: 1. Notes the guidance on undertaking policy reviews in Appendix 1; 2. Seeks to make use of the scorecard attached in Appendix 1 (Annex A) to assess any policy review topic ideas; 3. Develops a single or shortlist of potential topic ideas over the coming months or year for officers to scope further and report back to the Committee; 4. Delegates to the Democratic Services Officer, in conjunction with the Chair (and in consultation with the Opposition Lead) any further agreement on review topic selection as required.

The Committee should scrutinise the work of the partnership at least once a year and may also require the attendance before it of an officer or employee of a responsible authority or of a co-operating person or body in order to answer questions. The Committee may not require a person to attend unless reasonable notice of the intended date of attendance has been given to that person. Residents’ Services Select Committee – 7 July 2026 Classification: Public Selecting a topic and undertaking a review Appendix 1 attached provides detailed guidance on selecting topics and undertaking any policy review. A Policy Review Topic Scorecard is provided to assist with this. Further guidance can be sought from Democratic Services. Previous policy reviews It is advised not to review an area that has either been recently reviewed by a committee or is subject to internal review or planned service transformation to avoid duplication and additional resourcing. A list of past reviews over the last 5 years, pertinent to this Committee’s remit (or former remit) is shown below for information:  2024 – Road Safety Activities and Initiatives around Schools  2024 - Attaining Best Practice and Value for the Council’s Highways Resurfacing Activities  2023 – Alleygating in Hillingdon  2022 – Electric Vehicles, Infrastructure and Future Policy Development for the Borough  2021 – The Voluntary Sector’s Response to Covid-19  2020 – Review into Littering and Fly-Tipping in Hillingdon Suggested review topics (from previous meetings): Members have previously suggested the following topics for consideration:  CCTV  Enforcement These could be explored further either as an information item (to test the issue) or developed into a full scrutiny review if there is sufficient scope. Implications on related Council policies A statutory role of the Select Committees is to undertake reviews and make recommendations to the Cabinet who are responsible for the Council’s policy and direction. Reviews selected should be consistent with the Council’s policy and budgetary framework. How this report benefits Hillingdon residents None at this stage, pending any findings and recommendations devised in the final report. Financial Implications None at this stage. Legal Implications None at this stage. BACKGROUND PAPERS NIL. Residents’ Services Select Committee – 7 July 2026 Classification: Public Appendix 1 - Guidance on undertaking policy reviews Over the years, Hillingdon’s select committees have undertaken successful in -depth reviews of Council services and policies. This has resulted in a number of positive changes locally, with some also affecting policy at a national level. Such committees engage Councillors in a wide range of Council activity and build a greater understanding about service provision to residents. Policy reviews generally seek to: 1. Address a [significant] matter affecting the Borough 2. Seek to improve the delivery and/or efficiency of local services 3. Consider changes to policies or procedures to improve outcomes to residents/users REVIEW PHASES The typical phases of a review are as follows and set out further below: 1 Selection of topic 2 Scoping the review / setting out objectives 3 Witness & evidence stage (this is the main activity) 4 Findings and Draft recommendations (possible early report draft) 5 Final report approved by Committee 6 Referred to Cabinet for consideration 7 Monitoring the implementation of recommendations once approved / amended by Cabinet at meetings, i.e. in six months 1. Selection of topic Choosing the right topic is key. There are often many ideas, so focus on what will add the most value. Topics should be clear and specific (e.g. not a broad area like “waste services”, but a defined issue within it). Assessing and testing topics Before agreeing a topic, Members should:  Check whether the issue is already being reviewed or planned by Cabinet or officers  Avoid duplicating other work  Consider whether it is suitable and achievable for scrutiny To help decide:  Use the Scorecard (Annex A) to assess impact and value  Consider adding the topic as an information report first to explore it further before committing to a full review Residents’ Services Select Committee – 7 July 2026 Classification: Public Scope and timing  Narrow issues may be suitable for a single meeting review  Broader or more complex issues may require a full review over several months Where ideas come from Topics can be suggested by:  Committee or Cabinet Members  Partners or organisations  Residents  Relevant Council officers  Ombudsman findings Capacity It is recommended the Committee undertakes one review at a time to ensure focus and quality 2. Scoping report Once a topic is agreed, officers prepare a scoping report to help plan the review. This sets out:  The aims and objectives of the review  A proposed structure and timetable (e.g. themed witness sessions)  Suggested witnesses and evidence sources  Initial lines of enquiry to guide questioning The scoping report is a working document owned by the Committee. It can be updated as the review progresses if the focus or priorities change. 3. Witness and evidence stage This stage gathers the evidence needed to support the Committee’s findings and recommendations. A strong review is based on a wide range of perspectives, including residents, partners, experts and officers. Members’ local knowledge is also an important part of the evidence base and witness sessions. The Committee can use a mix of methods, both in and outside meetings, such as:  Requesting data, reports and intelligence  Inviting Cabinet Members, officers, and external witnesses  Hearing directly from residents and service users  Surveys, social media and promoting the review to gather views  Workshops, networking events or informal sessions  Site visits (within the Borough or to other authorities)  Commissioning specialist advice or reports where needed The aim is to build a balanced, evidence-led understanding of the issues. Preparing for this stage Members can strengthen the review by:  Preparing questions for witnesses in advance Residents’ Services Select Committee – 7 July 2026 Classification: Public  Reading background information on organisations or topics  Undertaking their own research  Using networks with councillors in other areas  Gathering views from residents through ward work and surgeries Good preparation and a broad evidence base will ensure the Committee is well placed to develop clear, credible findings and recommendations. 4. Findings and draft recommendations After gathering evidence, the Committee meets to agree its key findings – what needs to improve or change. From this, Members develop draft recommendations. These should:  Address the original aims of the review  Be clear, practical and achievable (SMART)  Deliver lasting improvement (not short-term fixes)  Consider cost and affordability  Be based on evidence and resident/service user insight At this stage, early engagement with the relevant Cabinet Member is important. Draft recommendations are shared with them and also officers, to seek their views and ensure they are realistic and deliverable. Democratic Servic es will support the Committee throughout, helping shape findings, draft recommendations, and coordinate any further evidence or witnesses. If recommendations are difficult to develop, consider any conclusions arising from your review instead. 5. Final report Democratic Services works with the Chair to prepare the final report, bringing together:  Evidence gathered  The Committee’s findings  Final recommendations The Committee then formally agrees the report. 6. Referral to Cabinet The approved report is then scheduled for Cabinet. Cabinet must consider the report. If recommendations are agreed, they become formal decisions for officers to implement. 7. Monitoring recommendations A follow -up review (typically after 6 –12 months) checks progress against th e agreed recommendations. This is included in the Committee’s work programme to ensure outcomes are delivered. Residents’ Services Select Committee – 7 July 2026 Classification: Public Annex A - Policy Review Topic Scorecard Use this simple scorecard to compare possible review topics. Score each criterion from 1 (low) to 5 (high), then total the score. Topic Resident impact Within remit Council influence New issue Achievable Support Improves services Efficiency / savings Wider impact Total How to score  Resident impact: Will this make a noticeable difference to residents?  Within remit: Is it clearly within the Committee’s responsibilities?  Council influence: Can the Council influence or change this issue?  New issue: Has this not been reviewed recently internally or by Members?  Achievable: Can this be completed within your timeframe?  Support: Is there likely to be wide support from Members, officers or partners doing this?  Improves services: Will it address performance issues or complaints?  Efficiency / savings: Could it improve value for money or reduce costs?  Wider impact: Could it have learning beyond Hillingdon (e.g. London or national)?

RESOLVED: That the Select Committee considered the Cabinet Forward Plan.
📄 Forward Plan PDF 236 KB
Read the text of this document (2 pages)
Residents’ Services Select Committee – 7 July 2026 Part I – Public CABINET FORWARD PLAN Committee name Residents’ Services Select Committee Officer reporting Liz Penny, Democratic Services Papers with report Appendix A – Latest Forward Plan Ward As shown on the Forward Plan HEADLINES To monitor the Cabinet’s latest Forward Plan which sets out key decisions and other decisions to be taken by the Cabinet collectively and Cabinet Members individually over the coming year. The report sets out the actions available to the Committee. RECOMMENDATION That the Committee considers the Cabinet Forward Plan. SUPPORTING INFORMATION The Cabinet Forward Plan is published monthly, usually around the first or second week of each month. It is a rolling document giving the required public notice of future key decisions to be taken. Should a later edition of the Forward Plan be published after this agenda has been circulated, Democratic Services will update the Committee on any new items or changes at the meeting. As part of its Terms of Reference, each Committee should consider the Forward Plan and , if it deems necessary, comment as appropriate to the decision-maker on the items listed which relate to services within its remit. For reference, the Forward Plan helpfully details which committee’s remit covers the relevant future decision item listed. The Committee’s monitoring role of the Forward Plan can be undertaken in a variety of ways , including both pre -decision and post -decision scrutiny of the items listed . The provision of advance information on future items listed (potentially also draft reports) to the Committee in advance will often depend upon a variety of factors including timing or feasibility, and ultimately any such request would rest with the relevant Cabinet Member to decide. However, the 2019 Protocol on Overview & Scrutiny and Cabinet Relations (part of the Hillingdon Constitution) does provide guidance to Cabinet Members to:  Actively support the provision of relevant Council information and other requests from the Committee as part of their work programme;  Where feasible, provide opportunities for committees to provide their input on forthcoming executive reports as set out in the Forward Plan to enable wider pre -decision scrutiny (in addition to those statutorily required to come before committees , i.e. policy framework documents – see para. below). Residents’ Services Select Committee – 7 July 2026 Part I – Public Therefore, in general, the Committee may consider the following actions on specific items listed on the Forward Plan: Committee action When How 1 To provide specific comments to be included in a future Cabinet or Cabinet Member report on matters within its remit. As part of its pre-decision scrutiny role, this would be where the Committee wishes to provide its influence and views on a particular matter within the formal report to the Cabinet or Cabinet Member before the decision is made. This would usually be where the Committee has previously considered a draft report or the topic in detail, or where it considers it has sufficient information already to provide relevant comments to the decision-maker. These would go within the standard section in every Cabinet or Cabinet Member report called “Committee comments”. The Cabinet or Cabinet Member would then consider these as part of any decision they make. 2 To request further information on future reports listed under its remit. As part of its pre-decision scrutiny role, this would be where the Committee wishes to discover more about a matter within its remit that is listed on the Forward Plan. Whilst such advance information can be requested from officers, the Committee should note that information may or may not be available in advance due to various factors, including timescales or the status of the drafting of the report itself and the formulation of final recommendation(s). Ultimately, the provision of any information in advance would be a matter for the Cabinet Member to decide. This would be considered at a subsequent Committee meeting. Alternatively, information could be circulated outside the meeting if reporting timescales require this. Upon the provision of any information, the Committee may then decide to provide specific comments (as per 1 above). 3 To request the Cabinet Member considers providing a draft of the report, if feasible, for the Committee to consider prior to it being considered formally for decision. As part of its pre-decision scrutiny role, this would be where the Committee wishes to provide an early steer or help shape a future report to Cabinet, e.g., on a policy matter. Whilst not the default position, Committees do occasionally receive draft versions of Cabinet reports prior to their formal consideration. The provision of such draft reports in advance may depend upon different factors, e.g., the timings required for that decision. Ultimately any request to see a draft report early would need the approval of the relevant Cabinet Member. Democratic Services would contact the relevant Cabinet Member and Officer upon any such request. If agreed, the draft report would be considered at a subsequent Committee meeting to provide views and feedback to officers before they finalise it for the Cabinet or Cabinet Member. An opportunity to provide specific comments (as per 1 above) is also possible. 4 To identify a forthcoming report that may merit a post- decision review at a later Committee meeting As part of its post-decision scrutiny and broader reviewing role, this would be where the Select Committee may wish to monitor the implementation of a certain Cabinet or Cabinet Member decision listed/taken at a later stage, i.e., to review its effectiveness after a period of 6 months. The Committee should note that this is different to the use of the post-decision scrutiny ‘call-in’ power which seeks to ask the Cabinet or Cabinet Member to formally re-consider a decision up to 5 working days after the decision notice has been issued. This is undertaken via the new Scrutiny Call-in App members of the relevant Committee. The Committee would add the matter to its multi- year work programme after a suitable time has elapsed upon the decision expected to be made by the Cabinet or Cabinet Member. Relevant service areas may be best to advise on the most appropriate time to review the matter once the decision is made.
