OVER the next four to five months the District Council will be carrying out an in-depth scrutiny of the bus services in the Forest of Dean looking at ways of improving the service and gaining a connection to the railway station at Lydney.

We would be interested in hearing from members of the public who have comments to make about any problems they have encountered, such as break-downs, long waits between buses or indeed anything else.

If you would like to contribute to this enquiry, please send your comments to Democratic Services, Forest of Dean District Council, Coleford, GL16 8HG, or email democratic. [email protected]">[email protected]

The more information we have about people's experiences, the stronger our case will be in trying to improve public transport for our district.

– Cllr Marion Winship.
