'Annex Ross-on-Wye to stop new town in Forest'
April 21, 2025
|Western Daily Press
A GLOUCESTERSHIRE Council candidate is proposing a "radical" plan for the "Forest of Dean annexation of Ross-on-Wye" in a bid to avoid the need to build a new town near Gloucester.
The recent trend among some politicians of talking about annexing their neighbours' land has surfaced in the run-up to this year's Gloucestershire County Council elections.
Former Forest of Dean District councillor Thom Forester is proposing the annexation of the nearby Herefordshire market town which needs to find sites for another 3,000 homes over the next 20 years.
Meanwhile, the Forest District needs to find land to build another 5,400 by 2041.
The Independent candidate for Drybrook and Lydbrook says in his election leaflet that "only a radical plan" can stop the "madness" of building a new garden town between the A40 and A48 which would "forever change the landscape and make-up of our Forest".
