I'm sort of using this page as a save, because I don't want to post this on Glos Politics, and push another thread I've just posted off pole position.
I guess it's the fate of the Labour party in Gloucester to call motions, only to have them denuded of any meaning by the Tories.

NOTICES OF MOTION
(1)
Notice of Motion from the Labour Group
34.1
Moved by Councillor Lugg and seconded by Councillor Chatterton:
“This Council notes the installation of 'safety features' in the shared space at
Kimbrose triangle. These measures do not constitute a regulated zebra crossing
and drivers and pedestrians are now confused as to whether the remaining section
of road within the scheme is shared or not. The scheme has never worked as
intended, due to poor design, and this tinkering with the layout is likely to lead to
accidents.
This Council asks the Leader to enter discussions with the County Council to either
install a proper pedestrian crossing or to take steps such as the installation of
rumble strips and other cues to make the shared space more obvious to drivers and pedestrians.”
