Herefordshire Council scrutiny committee to meet

One of Herefordshire Council’s committees which look at proposals, scrutinises decisions made and carries out reviews of services, is to hold a meeting in Ross-on-Wye later this month.

The environment scrutiny committee will gather at the Larruperz Centre in Grammar School Close, on Monday, November 23.

The meeting, starting at 9.30am, is one of a series of regular meetings the council’s scrutiny committees hold.

At the meeting the committee will hear from the Safer Roads Partnership – the organisation set up to make Herefordshire roads safer, which includes the use of road safety cameras.

The committee will also hear feedback from the council’s cabinet (senior politicians responsible for taking key decisions about council services and policy) on suggestions the committee put forward following a review of on street parking in the county.

Members of the public who attend the meeting will hear a report into the way the council maintains the roads in the county and also hear details concerning the environmental impact of the council’s fleet of vehicles.

“Scrutiny committees have a vital role to play to ensure decisions are sound and that local council tax payers receive good services that provide value for money,” said Cllr Bob Matthews, chairman of the environment scrutiny committee.

“These meetings have mainly been held in the council chamber in Hereford, so I’m pleased that this meeting is to be held in Ross-on-Wye and would invite anyone with an interest in the council or its activities to come along and see democracy in action.”

Members of the public can submit a question concerning an item on the agenda or participate in the meeting at the chairman’s discretion.

Anyone who has a question they would like to ask should submit it at least two days before the meeting to the committee officer – details are available on the council’s website. This will help ensure that an answer can be provided at the meeting.

The full agenda for the meeting will be posted on the council’s website, www.herefordshire.gov.uk, and will contain background information for the meeting.
