Nottingham City Council 's commissioners will have to review all decisions involving "significant levels of spend or changes to policy." A three-day turnaround for the commissioners to provide their comments has been agreed to prevent a delay to city council decisions.
Papers being presented at a meeting on Thursday say: "Following their appointment, the commissioners require decisions involving significant levels of spend or changes to policy to be considered by them to enable them to influence or exercise their powers in relation to the decisions being taken as they see fit.
It has also been agreed that decisions and reports will be shared with commissioners after they have been signed off by a corporate director, but before they have been authorised by councillors. This operation is set to be reviewed in two months.
