I WOULD like to respond to the statement made by County Councillor Paul McMahon about the ambulance service in the Forest of Dean.

As the ward councillor for Tidenham I have never had one complaint about the ambulance service.

The truth is I have never had any complaints about any of the emergency services, police, fire or coastguard.

They all do a professional job 24 hours a day and can be called with confidence at any time.

Please let us give them all the praise they deserve  for the wonderful work they all do in the county.

– Cllr Gethyn Davies, Forest of Dean District Council, Tidenham.
