In 1995, the Environment Act provided for a National Air Quality Strategy requiring local authorities to carry out Reviews and Assessments of the air quality in their area for seven specific pollutants. These are; carbon monoxide (CO), benzene, 1, 3-butadiene, nitrogen dioxide (NO2), lead, sulphur dioxide (SO2) and PM10 (Particles under 10μm in diameter). This Air Quality Progress Report concluded the following: Five sites in the town of Lydney exceeded the nitrogen dioxide annual mean objective of 40μg/m3. These sites are within the Lydney Air Quality Management Area, which was declared in July 2010. No other pollutants exceeded their respective annual mean concentrations. There are no other road traffic sources of concern within Forest of Dean District Council‟s administrative area. There are no other transport sources of concern within Forest of Dean District Council‟s administrative area.

Council Tax Spending Plans 2021 to 2022
FOREST OF DEAN DISTRICT COUNCIL SPENDING PLANS 2021-22 The level of council tax Council tax is the main source of locally-raised income for this authority and is used to meet the difference between the amount a local authority wishes to spend and the amount it receives from other sources such as business rates and government grants. In determining the level of council tax payable, the Cabinet has borne in mind the difficult economic and financial climate that many of our residents face, although our funding from Central Government has declined sharply during the period 2010 to 2021 (although there has been increased funding in 2020-2021 to help with the impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic), with uncertainty over future funding levels after March 2022. With this in mind, the Council has to consider what level of increase in council tax is sustainable, without creating an increased risk of service cuts and/or larger tax increases in the future. The average council tax you will pay for services provided by the District Council is £189.03 for a Band D taxpayer equating to £3.64 per week. This is an increase of £5.00 over last year, equating to less than 10 pence per week. Service delivery The Council aims to maintain the delivery and high standard of its services to residents, protecting front line services within the reduced funding available. The Council has no funding gap in 2021-22 although we have increased costs, the continued impact of low interest rates on investment income, impact of Covid-19 Pandemic as well as additional government support throughout the pandemic.

All Stroud District Council Seats Are up for Election on 07 May 2020
All Stroud District Council seats are up for election on 07 May 2020. To stand as a candidate in the local elections nomination papers must be submitted between Tuesday 24th March and 4pm on Wednesday 08th April. The Local Government Boundary Commission for England have now approved the Parish/Town boundary amendments that were agreed at Council on the 19 December 2019. Unfortunately, the timescales for the Electoral Register have not allowed the publication of the Local Order for all district wards ahead of the Register being republished on the 3 February (Kingswood not included). A meeting to agree approval of the district ward boundary changes will be held on on the 17 February and the oustanding parish and district ward boundary changes will be reflected in the 02 March Electoral Register to come into force for the 07 May local elections. This will include changes to Kingswood Ward (11 properties). A reminder that the Local Transport Plan (County - Draft for Consultation) will be available for discussion in Stroud District at the Council Chamber, Ebley Mill on Thursday 13th February: daytime surgeries in reception area (11 - 3pm)/evening presentation with Q&A (4 - 5:30pm). Stroud District dog owners have been reminded to keep dogs under proper control after several incidents involving aggressive dogs in the space of a week. Stroud District Council Animal Welfare Officers have dealt with reports of three dog-on-dog incidents in the district, and have issued a reminder about keeping dogs on leads. Most incidents reported to Council Officers stem from both dogs being off the lead – and therefore, in the eyes of the law, not “under proper control”.

Forest of Dean District Dementia Action Alliance
Forest of Dean District Dementia Action Alliance Geography: The Forest of Dean District is one of the seven in Gloucestershire County. Not quite the smallest but it is on the edge- of the County and of the Country. The population is about 83,700 people with about 34167 households (households with at least one usual resident). Projections suggest that our population will grow to 86,800 by 2025 and 89,900 by 2037. The area is classified as rural with no one town dominating. Newent is in the North area and is closest to a major centre, Gloucester. The other three towns are Lydney, in the south, with Cinderford and Coleford in the centre. The industrial heritage and natural landscape is something which people living in the area feel connected to. Locally the Forest of Dean District is known as the land between two rivers (the River Severn and the River Wye). Transport issues have repeatedly been identified as an issue which the Forest of Dean Community Transport Project is working proactively to understand and enable. The town hosts a community Background: In 2008 the then Local Strategic Partnership (multiagency partnership) did considerable consultation across the district within which carers issues were identified such as the need for them to have a voice, greater recognition needed of who a carer is. In response to this local partners came together informally as the Forest of Dean Carers Partnership – examples of their work are – a roadshow which increased Carers Glos database by 40%, annual Carers Rights Day events which are now quarterly forums, and across the county facilitated by Carers Glos but still supported by local partners.
