The village banning free-roaming sheep

Allowing sheep to roam freely could be criminalised in one village in the Forest of Dean.

The ancient custom of allowing sheep to roam freely in the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire could be criminalised in one village, Bream, where fines of up to 拢1,000 are proposed for anyone allowing sheep to enter and remain.

Secretary of the Forest of Dean Commoners Association Mick Holder spoke to Mishal Husain about the village's relationship with sheep.
