I CAN see now that this evil Coalition Government is still hellbent on trying to sell off the Forest of Dean, and all the forests throughout the British Isles.

David Cameron and his henchmen are ready to take us back to the bad old Thatcherite days when greedy entrepreneurs could buy up woodland and stop us walking through our woodland that has been our birth right throughout the years.

So now we know what this lot are all about – profit for the rich and nothing else. I urge everyone who cares about the Forest to bombard Mark Harper's office in Cinderford with letters of concern and dissatisfaction about this Government's proposed sell off.

Be prepared for the biggest fight of our lives – this is a war we must win. Failure is not an option.

– Dave Bowkett, Cinderford.
