A public meeting, called by the town council, to discuss a proposed development that includes a pub, drive-through restaurant and separate coffee shop, as well as a retail store and vets in Monmouth, will be held at 7pm on Monday, 9 February in Monmouth Comprehensive School’s hall.  More than 100 individual objections and a 226-name petition have been lodged with Monmouthshire council, amid fears it will increase noise on an already heavily-used road, mean more litter, and harm the vitality of the town.  As at Abergavenny a McDonald’s restaurant has divided residents. There will be a presentation from the developer and anyone wishing to speak at the meeting is asked to email Councillor Stuart Wilson in advance at contactwyesham@gmail.com.
