Court Looming - Legal Challenge Update

Our court hearing is on Thursday 6th July 2pm at Gloucester Civil Court.

We entered a defence showing all the ways in which Forestry England had led everyone to believe we would be offered a long term lease, or at least to continue to deliver heritage crafts and social forestry from Kensley sheds craft centre.

It is both sad and revealing, how we are being treated after so many years of committed community work.

The money being spent on solicitors!!! ….rather than just have a reasonable conversation - we even had a pro bono barrister willing to negotiate on our behalf!

We believe this does not represent the whole of Forestry England, but a minority of the management who will stop at nothing to exert their power.
