FOLLOWING the decision of the Cabinet of the Forest of Dean District Council to introduce car parking charges, the members of Mitcheldean Parish Council wish to voice their strong objections to these charges on behalf of the parishioners and businesses in the village.

Councillors would also like to thank district councillors Ian Whitburn and Jackie Fraser for their efforts and support in opposing the charges in Mitcheldean.

– D F Hyett, clerk the Parish Council, Mitcheldean.
