CHEPSTOW Town Council will take over responsibility for the grass cutting and grounds maintenance of the town's riverbank from Monmouthshire County Council.

Gaining control of the area from Wednesday 1st April, the town council is now inviting quotations from local grounds maintenance/grass cutting contractors to undertake regular grass cutting in the area. 

It is also hoped that enthusiastic local gardeners will come forward to help with the maintenance of the flower beds and the town council plans to establish a "Friends of the Riverbank Garden Group" to take forward the work, which commenced last year with the replanting of the "Melanie Tranyor Memorial Garden".

A full specification of requirements is available from the town council by emailing the town clark at [email protected]">[email protected]
