IN your edition (The Forester, front page October 28, "Hands off our Forest") about keeping the Forest of Dean out of private hands, which I support.

The Forest of Dean Forestry Commission has already allocated part of woodland at the Pludds behind the houses in Royal Oak Road to a sheep badger, they also supplied fencing.

You also printed a comment by Poppy Turpin-West that read: "We will protest against reducing access to children's natural play resources."

It is Poppy's family that has been allocated this ground.
