Councillor Cook reported that the £20,000
surplus would be utilised in procuring new fleet vehicles, to
replace those that were near the end of life. Councillor Cook reported that in the event of the number of

39.2 That the minutes of the Special Council meeting held on the 24th October 2016 be approved as a correct record subject to an amendment requested by Councillor Hilton to paragraph 37.3:
39.3 Councillor Hilton
(Leader of the Liberal Democrat Group) believed that the Council
should accept the modifications to enable work to proceed on the
City Plan. He agreed with the Inspector that the Churchdown
allocation be removed from the Strategy, and questioned
the allocation’s proximity to the airport. but he questioned the allocation at
Twigworth and the proximity to the
airport. He believed that the Inspector should have considered
an allocation at Highnam which would
have created a good community close to the City Centre. He was
disappointed that the Inspector had removed the requirement for ten
per cent renewable energy and he believed that an opportunity had
been lost by setting the level of affordable housing in large
developments at twenty per cent for Gloucester while Cheltenham and Tewkesbury remained at forty per
cent.
