I SEE yet another refusal for anything wanting to come to Coleford, perhaps we should change the town road signs to match the town's ambitions.

Cinderford has 'Heart of the Forest', Lydney has 'Gateway to the Forest'.

Coleford's should read 'Graveyard of the Forest', home of the walking dead, twinned with Transylvania.

I know this is a bit tongue in cheek but people travel to Cinderford, Monmouth, Ross or Chepstow where these towns have not had any dire consequences of new stores opening but with our zombie planners there is little hope of progress in Coleford.
