WITH the slashing of a ribbon at the Town Hall to unveil a mural depicting 'snapshots' of a rapidly-changing town, Coleford Partnership has been well and truly launched.

"The Coleford Partnership consists of representatives from local businesses, town and district councils, voluntary event committees, educational establishments and the town's residents who are working to make a difference in their community," states The Coleford Guide, launched at the same time.

"As part of this work they are preparing a community plan for the future of the town and surrounding parishes. It will cover all aspects of the community's life, social, environmental, economic and cultural, and aims to provide a vision for Coleford for the next 20 years."

To find out more about the Partnership, launched under the Market and Coastal Towns Initiative, visit Colefordtc@gofree. co.uk or telephone Dean 832103.
