HEREFORDSHIRE Council’s new General Overview & Scrutiny Committee has called a meeting for next Friday – but lists only an “urgent agenda item” rather than make any specific reference to the latest developments over Hereford’s ESG scheme.

The just published agenda puts the urgent agenda item at the discretion of the committee chairman to be considered as a “matter of urgency” in accordance with the council’s constitution.

No other details are featured.

Set for the council’s Brockington HQ at 10am next Friday (November 9,) the meeting is - at this stage – being held as an open session.

The council recently split its single overview and scrutiny committee into two, with the other holding a specific responsibility for health and wellbeing.
