COMPLEX GETS
GO-AHEAD
Monmouthshire County Council’s planning committee has given approval
for a shopping and office complex to be built on the Severn Bridge Industrial
Estate at Caldicot. The approval was given in spite of objections from
Caldicot Chamber of Commerce, which fears that the scheme will take trade
away from established businesses in the town centre.
SCHOOL FENCES
TO PROTECT CHILDREN
Two Caldicot schools, St Mary’s Primary and Caldicot Comprehensive,
are planning to erect fences around their grounds in an attempt to improve
the safety of pupils and keep out unwelcome visitors. The fence at the
Comprehensive School is due to go up in July. At St Mary’s plans
have been delayed by the fact that public rights of way run through the
grounds.
WEAPONS HANDED
IN
About 20 weapons were handed in to Caldicot police during a weapons amnesty.
They included a Remington rifle, shotguns, air pistols, a sword and a
crossbow.
TWINNING
BACK ON TRACK
The visit to Caldicot by a party from the French town of Morieres, which
was called off in April as a result of the Iraq war, looks set to go ahead
during the summer. Jean Barrett, who has led the twinning scheme in Morieres,
denied that the original postponement was a political protest against
British involvement in the war.
CHOIR
CELEBRATES
Caldicot Male Voice Choir celebrated its 40th anniversary with a special
concert attended by 700 people at Caldicot Leisure Centre.
FOOTBALL
Caldicot Town finished the season in third place in Welsh League Division
Three.
