WELCOME to the Forest of Gloom; no jobs, no hope.

Every time someone writes about regeneration I think what a load of codswallop.

If you lived in Gloucester you would have half a chance of a job, in the Forest, not a lot.

The Government has no intention of helping the people of the Forest out. We get nothing.

The next to go will be the college at RFDC.

Rumours have it they are joining with Stroud, leaving the college to be their satellite. More jobs going, students travelling to Stroud. I don't think so.

The college will deny jobs will be lost, but that's normal. Just don't believe a thing the powers at the college tell you.

The Forest is still a cracking place to live, but for how long? It is now in decay.

RIP the Forest of Dean. – Rog, Cinderford.
