A MAN'S body has been recovered from the riverbank at Beachley, Chepstow.

Gloucestershire Police received the call at around 11am yesterday (27th March) and attended the scene along with Chepstow Coastguard and the Severn Area Rescue Association (SARA), who removed the body.

The district coroner has been informed but formal identification of the man is yet to take place.

This grim discovery comes only two weeks after another body was found in the river at Beachley.
