Civic and Amenity

Since it was set up over 70 years ago, the Chepstow Society has been active in monitoring the changes taking place in the town, helping to protect what is valuable, and seeking improvements to the town’s environment.

We continue to carry out this vital function.  The Society looks at current planning applications, and at policy documents on planning and amenity issues, and makes representations on issues as appropriate. We also have regular and frequent exchanges and meetings with local town and county councillors, and with other groups concerned about the future of the area.

For further information – and offers to help – please contact Guy Hamilton – email .
