Forest Of Dean District Council Description

The Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire is a magical place where you can get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy beautiful and extraordinary surroundings. The Forest of Dean, the ‘Queen of Forests', has something for everyone - fascinating heritage, spectacular and varied landscapes, plus warm and friendly hospitality.

This enchanted place became Britain's first National Forest Park in 1938 and is England's largest oak forest. Tucked away between the rivers Wye, Leadon and Severn in Western Gloucestershire, the Forest of Dean is a world apart from the rest.

Forest of Dean District Council, based in Coleford, is the local authority in the area and its services include waste collection and recycling, leisure centres, planning, car parking, housing, regeneration, environmental health, food safety, benefits and public toilets. The council was recently ranked above Tesco and Sainsbury's for its customer service and was up there with Marks and Spencer.

Don't be deceived by the district's tranquil setting - although the Forest boasts a variety of guided walks and dedicated cycle routes, it also offers a massive selection of high adrenaline activities. Take your pick, from canoeing to clay shooting, paintballing to abseiling, raft building and high wire assault courses - the Forest of Dean has it all!

The Forest is perfect for short breaks or spontaneous getaways. There is a great range of quality assessed accommodation, from historic hotels and inns to welcoming B& B's, cosy country cottages with real log fires and campsites where you can immerse yourself in the great outdoors.

This male Spaniel was found in Parkend this morning. Unfortunately he has no microchip so is now being looked after by Sling Kennels. For information please call Sling Kennels on 07876 641854 or 07505 820220.

New road surface for A4136 from Edge End to Lower Berry Hill
Work will start on 19th July. Crews will be using very large machinery when resurfacing this road, so in order to keep them safe a full road closure will be in place overnight between 7pm and 7am until 20th August (excluding weekends). The work will be delivered in two phases to help to maintain local access.
There is no guaranteed access for vehicles during the road closure, except in emergencies. A signed diversi...on will be in place and road users are advised to use the diversion or an alternative route during the overnight work. Crews will do all they can to provide access for residents and businesses in the work area when it is safe to do so.
Note that evening access to Freedom Leisure Coleford will be maintained from the Edge End direction only between 19 July and 3 August.
