AM I alone in feeling extremely irritated that Greg Smith, Principal of Gloucestershire College, does not think he needs to attend a meeting where residents of Berry Hill and surrounding areas wish to make representations about their legitimate concerns regarding the future plans for the college site in Five Acres?

This smacks of arrogance and a complete disregard for the views of Foresters.

Personally, I am getting sick and tired of incomers coming into the area and telling us what we are going to have and not have and what we need and don't need.

Berry Hill and Coleford stand to lose their college, theatre, leisure centre and other sports facilities all in a misguided attempt to regenerate.

It is time for Foresters to stand against this and defend our children's future.
