Forest of Dean District Council has begun upgrading Linkline services for residents to new digitally enabled equipment, ensuring users are ready for the changes to landline phone services in 2025. 

Forest of Dean District Council invites interested parties, landowners, and developers to suggest sites that they consider suitable for future housing and employment as it carries out its annual Strategic Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (SHELAA). 

Forest of Dean District Council is to increase fixed penalty charges for the criminal behaviour of fly-tipping and people who litter or fly-post, helping to protect the environment and to keep communities across the Forest of Dean safe. 

Homeowners across the Forest of Dean are being encouraged to access a new service which could help them make their homes more energy efficient and make savings of around £1,800 per year on their energy bills.   

Forest of Dean District Council invites residents from across the Forest of Dean to have their say on leisure opportunities in the district, with a consultation starting 21 January 2025 and running until 23 February 2025.
