I THANK Cllr Leppington for taking the time to write to residents outlining the difficulties of delivering services in a rural area.

However I, and I’m sure other residents, would like to know what, as the Cabinet member responsible for development and infrastructure, he and the rest of the Forest of Dean District Council Cabinet plan to do to meet these challenges.

That is, after all, their job.

– Cllr Nick Evans (Con), Forest of Dean District Council, Tidenham.
