MALVERN Town Council has confirmed that it is facing an industrial tribunal following a complaint from a former town clerk.

Council chairman Roger Hall-Jones said this week that the council was aware of the action being taken by former clerk Shirley Young and had made a representation.

He refused to comment on the grounds for the tribunal.

Shirley Young resigned from the position of clerk in May this year and went on to become head of street services at Coventry City Council.

She was unavailable for comment yesterday (Thursday).

A date has yet to be set.
