Welcome to the Historic Market Town of Coleford with its Clock Tower. This is a focus for many occasions throughout the year, from Carnival of Transport, Dancing through the Dean, Coleford Music Festival and the Christmas Lights Switch On.

With the free parking and facilities throughout the Town, Coleford is a centre point to attract visitors to the Forest of Dean with emphasis on Local History and walking and cycling routes passing through the Town.

This year is seeing exciting developments throughout the Town with youth in mind. The establishment of a preschool play area, the continued upgrade of King George V Playing Fields and the involvement of Gloucestershire Youth, Youth Arts award.

The development of the Coleford Enterprise Centre will give the Council a fresh opportunity for the continued development of the Town.

The Council has been involved in trying to get the infrastructure of the town improved after the floods in July. The Council has held public meetings to enable the views of residents to be heard.

The Town Council is aware that this is the first level of public democracy and the old adage that from little acorns great oaks flourish. So it is essential that the residents get involved in the local issues and ensure that your Councillors know how to present your views and influence statutory bodies.

So please contact us or the office (Mon – Fri 10am – 2pm) and express your views.

Thank you
