Overview and Scrutiny Panel Meetings
Most Overview and Scrutiny meetings are open to the public and you can listen to the debate and discussion. They are generally held in the Mansion House, in central Doncaster, as well as other locations in the Borough. If you wish to bring something to the attention of Scrutiny, you can make a statement at a relevant Panel meeting, or write or e-mail the Chair of the relevant Panel. For more information about how you can have your say at a Scrutiny Panel Meeting see the
Overview and Scrutiny webpages.
Public Rights of Way forum
The forum is open to anyone with an interest in rights of way. We especially welcome landowners and tenants to the forum as these groups are currently under-represented. The meetings are held every 3 months and more information can be found by visiting the
Public Rights of Way Forum webpages.Town Centre Forum
The Town Centre Forum is concerned with the content of the Borough's new Local Development Framework and the associated town centre plan. After this, the forum may consider a wider range of live issues affecting the town centre and act as a sounding board for the Neighbourhood team and other Council departments.
