CHEPSTOW town councillors threatened to boycott a private meeting to thrash out plans for what is being described as short-term changes to the town centre. Some town councillors invited to the meeting - which was held on Tuesday afternoon - said they would not attend unless it was held in public, saying they had concerns the plans were part of a trial to make way for long-lasting changes. But Monmouthshire County Council said it did not need to hold the meeting in public because the plans are temporary and intended to help visitors social distance once the Covid-19 lockdown ends.
