Back at Pershore Civic Centre this morning for the first cabinet meeting of a new administration at Worcestershire County Council #LDReporter

I’m at Pershore Civic Centre this morning where Worcestershire County Council is expected to elect a new leader. That could be Alan Amos, the new Reform leader. There could also be a rival leadership bid #LDReporter
