‘THE PEDESTRIAN POUND’

This report from  Living Streets could be very helpful for our High Street in Chepstow. 

There are some interesting and unexpected findings in it which could be valuable for Chepstow High Street traders, Councillors and citizens.  

‘Pedestrians spend more money than people arriving by car, and pedestrianised town centres have higher sales.’

‘When high streets are walkable and vibrant, they benefit from increased footfall, increased time spent, and increased money exchanged.’

‘Weekend pedestrianisation of town centre streets in Shrewsbury led to 25% more sales.’ 

You can see the whole report and a summary here:

Wye Tackle Climate Change Competition

Climate change affects us all – we must act now to ensure a sustainable future.
In the run-up to the COP26 conference in Glasgow in November, Transition Chepstow is launching a competition for schools and youth groups in the local area.

You can enter as an individual or as a team in one of three age groups:

  • 11 and under
  • 12 to 15
  • 16 and over

You are asked to prepare materials for a campaign to make everyone, but especially young people aware of the need to reduce our carbon footprint and to inspire others to do the same.

You can use any media, including written material, photographs, visual art, performance art, music, audio, or video. You must include a short outline of how the materials can be used to reach different audiences.

Enter through your school or youth group, cash prizes of up to £100 to winning organisations in each of the three age categories. The best entries will be used in future campaigns and some of the winners may receive professional help to finalise their campaign.

Entries must be submitted by 5pm on Friday, 1st October 2021.
