Scrutiny Information

Here you can find a folder containing Scrutiny Bulletins since the relaunch in Spring 2023. The most recent edition can be found here. 

These documents are circulated via email in a 'live' format but must be converted to .pdf documents in order to publish them. Unfortunately this means that any links to websites or video clips will not work when accessed here. If you would like to receive the email version in order to view this content, please contact us on democratic.services@essex.gov.uk.
