Although the Place Plan will be mainly about planning related issues, it can also address broader, well-being issues (such as traffic and transport, community cohesion, and mitigating climate change) and go further to include practical projects to make Chepstow a better place to live. Over the next 18 months the town council want to engage with all those who live and work in the town as part of building the Chepstow Place Plan. In this way the resultant plan will contribute to shaping and informing developments in Chepstow that reflect the needs and aspirations of the community. Cllr Tom Kirton, who is on the Working Group for the Place Plan, said: “We hope that as many local people as possible get involved in putting this plan together. It will influence what happens in the town over the next 10-15 years.
