Inquiry repor​ts​

Scrutiny Committees sometimes look in detail at a topic and send a report to Cabinet, with recommendations for how to improve.​

The Cabinet considers the report and responds to the recommendations.

Research reports​​

We undertake independent research to inform the Committees’ work, collecting evidence from stakeholders on their views and experiences. We also review existing research and good practice to highlight work Cardiff Council could learn from.​

  • Selected Local Authorities’ Charging Structures, Strategies and Experiences on the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), 2016
  • Litter Survey, 2013 – Public concerns on litter, street cleanliness and dog fouling
  • Improving Air Quality Initiatives – Best Practice Examples, 2018
  • Litter Survey 2018 – Follow-up survey on public concerns on litter and fly tipping, 2018​

​Every year, scrutiny committees report on their work, highlighting contributions received and recommendations made.

Their reports highlight the impact of scrutiny and changes that were carried out.

For 2020 to 21, and for 2021 to 2022 the five scrutiny committees developed a combined Annual Report.
