TALK about the power of the Press.

In last week’s Review, a letter from Richard Smith suggested a cycle race along Coleford Road in Bream would get the road resurfaced.

Magically, the next day it happened.

So, in future, I will save myself months of lobbying Gloucestershire County Council Highways and come to Mr Smith and the Review to get things done.

Great work chaps.

Can you now suggest a cycle race round some of the roads in Lydney.
