Ousted Gloucester leader leaves council without cabinet as Cotswold housing meeting proceeds
A no-confidence vote stripped Gloucester City Council of its leader and cabinet, while Cotswold District Council's next-day housing and planning decision meeting went ahead as scheduled.
That meeting had been listed in Gloucester City Council's published schedule [1][3]. The following morning, Cotswold District Council's Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Housing and Planning held a decision meeting that was also listed in advance [2][5].
