The Forest Economic Partnership (FEP) was launched by Forest of Dean District Council in January 2018 to bring together businesses, public sector, people, ideas and resources to give the Forest of Dean: -a united voice in the many economic conversations that are being had and, -to deliver a thriving and sustainable economic vision of what the District wishes to be by 2050. It does this through quarterly stakeholder meetings open to anyone who signs up and lives/works/studies/plays in the District and through dedicated sub-groups on Education & Skills, Bridges & Borders, Transport & Infrastructure and Digital Connectivity.
