I WOULD just like to make the public aware that only three elected councillors (including myself) bothered to turn up this morning (Sunday) at the proposed extension to the Breedon quarry site near St Briavels .

I was appalled at such a poor turn out by the people, who less than a month ago were knocking on our doors, requesting we support them, when, in reality, it seems a lot of them couldn't give a stuff about our community here and protecting the Forest of Dean.

– Cllr Martin Hill (UKIP), Forest of Dean District Council, Coleford East.
