Scrutiny residents survey
What matters most to you in Hackney?
Each year the scrutiny function ask people who live, work or study in the borough what issues are most important to them.
Scrutiny Commissions are made up of councillors who work across party political lines to investigate issues of local concern, and they need to know what Hackney residents want to see reviewed each year from June this year.
Good Scrutiny plays an important role in the development of better policies and improving performance, and can hold the Council and outside agencies to account, including police and the health service.
Here the Commission Chairs and Scrutiny leads talk about the 2011 scrutiny survey:

The 2010 survey attracted 145 responses, and found that making the borough safer was the top priority, so one of the Scrutiny Commissions completed a review of how the council and police are working together to address gun and knife crime. Residents also said that education services were important, so a Commission reviewed local achievement at Key Stage 2.
