Forest of Dean District Council has taken a significant step toward safeguarding its natural environment, with councillors overwhelmingly supporting a new charter designed to protect and restore local rivers and waterways.  

Following a recent public consultation, Forest of Dean District Council has approved its budget for the coming financial year, providing a clear and stable foundation for the continued delivery of high‑quality local services and sustained investment in communities across the district. 

As part of the Revised Draft Local Plan consultation, Forest of Dean District Council is hosting 8 public events at community venues across the district, including an additional session at Redmarley Village Hall in response to local feedback.
