CINDERFORD TOWN CENTRE

Along with Town Mayor Cllr Max Coborn I am currently trying to arrange for a Coal Dram to be placed somewhere in Cinderford Town Centre, the idea came from Mr Robert Ensor a well known businessman in the Town.
For this year along with Cinderford Traders Association we are looking to arrange a Cinderford in bloom display, The Coal Dram as well has being a feature of our Mining past, can also be planted with some flowers to complement a display around the Triangle railings.
The Coal Dram itself will become a permanent feature and will be donated by Mr Robin Morgan Freeminer of Hopewell Colliery.
I can recomend that Hopewell Colliery is well worth a visit for all the family, where you can experience the fascinating world of the Forest of Dean Freeminer.

Linton Park and Ride

We have made a positive move in getting Linton Park and Ride scheme brought forward in the local Transport plan, Labour has always campaigned to keep this project live, What must be done now is an in depth look at the exact location, so that this Park and Ride not only benefits the City of Gloucester but also gives benefit to the terrible congestion that is suffered by the people of the Forest of Dean trying to get through Hignham roundabout every morning.
