With the Liberal Democrats now running Gloucester City Council the party is best placed to beat the Conservative incumbent MP on July 4.
The Liberal Democrats were appointed to the leadership of the local authority at Monday afternoon’s annual general meeting of the council.
They won 17 of the 39 seats the council, with the Conservatives on 11 seats, Labour on seven and the Independents on four.
The Liberal Democrats are promising to improve core services, support the local economy, deliver more affordable housing and make Gloucester carbon neutral by 2030.
The bollards have been fitted between Manu Marble Way and Millstone Way which means residents no longer having to drag their waste bins and recycling boxes to the end of the street for collection.
