The county council's long-awaited review of on-street parking in Kingsholm is just about to start and should be completed by November this year. The first stage of the project will be a camera car survey this month to carried by contractors Atkins. This will take vehicle data to establish the occupancy, parking stress and demand on an area as well as duration of stay and generally how far people have travelled to park - are they local to area, the street, city or come from further away?

Former council leader urged to apologise over Marketing Gloucester failures
Councillors are demanding that the former leader of Gloucester City Council apologise for the Marketing Gloucester debacle. The Liberal Democrats have tabled a motion to the city council calling on Councillor Paul James to apologise after the arms length organisation was bailed out to the tune of £240,000. The city council had to give Marketing Gloucester, which was responsible for promoting Gloucester and running events, the money for it to stay financially solvent. Councillor Paul James, who stood down as leader of the council in November last year, resigned as chair of the Marketing Gloucester board in May. Councillor Jeremy Hilton, leader of Gloucester Liberal Democrats, said: "Councillor Paul James was chair of the board for eight years, which had oversight of Marketing Gloucester when it racked up this huge overspend. "It's clear the board did not properly take a grip of expenditure and allowed things to get out of control. "Councillor James, as chair, should have had better control over the governance
