A PUBLIC footpath sign is placed on the edge of the path of St Whites Road, Cinderford, and is opposite to Stockwell?Green Road.

The public footpath is access to all persons wishing to walk up through the St White's Farm land to view the glorious areas, and walking paths at the top.

The new housing developers Bloor Homes have provided an excellent wide path way down to the public entrance. There is also a second pathway provided.

The public footpath access has been available for 100 years plus. This entrance has been blocked off for many months, and this is illegal.

The entrance has to be opened up and made available for all persons.

I'm sure our excellent councillors, who we do respect, will sort out this atrocity.
