A Monmouthshire County Council public consultation launches on Wednesday 5 October for residents and businesses in and around Chepstow to gather feedback on ideas being proposed within the Transforming Chepstow Masterplan.

The County Council, working with Chepstow Town Council, is holding two initial face-to-face events and is encouraging locals to attend to find out more and share their thoughts. The first session is taking place on Saturday 8 October at the Palmer Centre, Upper Nelson Street, from 10am until 5pm. On Tuesday 11 October the team will also be at Bulwark Community Centre between 10am and 8pm. Exhibition boards from these two events will then be available to view at Chepstow Library from the afternoon of Wednesday 12 October.

Information about the Transforming Chepstow Masterplan can be found on the Council’s website at https://www.monmouthshire.gov.uk/transforming-chepstow-masterplan/ along with a link to the online survey, for capturing views and comments. The survey will also be available in a paper format at the two face-to-face sessions, and throughout the consultation period (until 5pm, 30 October 2022) from Chepstow Library and the offices of Chepstow Town Council.

The consultation follows and builds upon part of a Place Plan process during 2020 to 2021.  Once the consultation has closed and the feedback gathered, a report of consultation will be published. The draft plan will then be updated to reflect the comments that were received, and a final copy of the Transforming Chepstow Masterplan will be made available online.
