IT is clear to me that if you want to save our Forest then only a vote for Labour in the General Election will do so.

Steve Parry-Hearn, Labour's Parliamentary Candidate for the Forest of Dean stood in a wet and cold field, side by side with HOOF, protesting against the sell-off of our Forest.

He protested before and after his nomination.

In recent months Mark Harper has claimed to be  'working' with HOOF. The only way he would work with HOOF is in  the way an auctioneer does before a sale, selling off the Forest piece by piece to his rich mates.

Add the NHS to the mix and he certainly has the look of a dodgy car salesman looking to make as much money from our Forest.

The only way we can save our Forest from sale is a vote for Labour in the General Election.

The only party that can and will stop the sale.

– Andrew Knight, Labour's Forest Council candidate for Mitcheldean and Drybrook, Cinderford.
