SOUND AND LIGHT FOR CALDICOT?
A huge sound and light show based on the history and legends of Caldicot Castle is being planned for 2004. The show will be the third in a series of 'son et lumiere' performances planned for Monmouthshire over the next three years. Lottery funding has already been promised for the first two, at Chepstow and Tintern, and organisers are confident that the Caldicot bid will be approved when it is submitted in 18 months time. The show will involve a large local cast, specially composed music, special effects and spectacular fireworks. It is hoped to run nine consecutive performances and to attract a thousand people to each.

GATEWAY TO WALES
Talks are continuing between P&O Developers and Monmouthshire County Council over the proposed development of the 'Gateway to Wales' science and technology park near Rogiet. If it comes to fruition, the £400 million scheme would cover 1,000 acres and, it is claimed, create 4,000 jobs.
