A GANG of 12 alleged drug dealers has appeared in court.

Seven people from Dursley and one from Cam were among those charged with plotting to supply class A drugs.

At the hearing at Gloucester Crown Court on Friday, Judge Ian Lawrie ruled that the courtrooms at Gloucester were not big enough to host a trial involving so many defendants and the case would have to be transferred to Bristol.
