PROTESTERS marched on Cinderford to urge major employers not to let the town 'die'.

Dozens of Foresters descended on the town centre on Saturday in the wake of delays to the planned Asda superstore.

Workers at Mitcheldean warehouse The Range have led calls for a legal challenge blocking the retailer's arrival to be dropped.

Bosses at rival store The Co-op will go to judicial review later in the year in an effort to quash Asda's planning permission.

Range workers are pinning hopes of finding new jobs on Asda coming to town.

Cinderford's town mayor Max Coborn observed the peaceful protests.

He said: "We need the competition, we need the jobs. We're doing everything we can, but we don't know if it's enough."
