THERE was renewed hope this week that large parts of the Forest could reopen during the week before the first day of the school holidays – Saturday, July 21.
The welcome relief comes on the back of news from MAFF that testing is complete in the area and it was only a matter of waiting seven-10 days for results. Forest Enterprise spokesman Val Long said it would be 'wonderful' to have the Forest back open once the considerable logistics were worked out. The police say they are also working towards a similar date for reopening the Forest.
THERE is to be a disco and buffet at Cinderford Rugby Club on Saturday, July 14, 8pm til late, with all proceeds from the event going to local farmers. Tickets at £3 from Stantones, High Street, Cinderford or ring Graham on 01594 825697.
