COUNCIL
ACCUSED OF GRAVE MISTAKE
Relatives of people buried in Caldicot cemetery criticised the town council
for “desecrating” memorials when 135 gravestones were laid
flat during safety checks. A petition signed by 300 people was presented
at a special meeting. Council members expressed regret for any distress
called but pointed out that clear notice had been given and that the checks
had been recommended by the Health and Safety Executive.

NEW SERVICE
FOR ADDICTS
Arrangements have been made for a mobile needle exchange unit to visit
Caldicot once a week to allow addicts to exchange dirty needles and syringes
for clean ones. The move follows complaints that dirty needles had been
found discarded near the town playing fields. It is estimated that there
are 40 drug addicts in Caldicot.
