Chepstow Marquee Madness!

A marquee outside The Boat Inn in Chepstow, Monmouthshire, has sparked a two-year debate. Locals say it ruins the area's charm and blocks river access, crucial for rescue teams. Pub landlady Amanda Cooper insists a path remains open, but a recent council decision rejected her planning application, citing the marquee's adverse visual impact. It's a battle between preserving local heritage and modern convenience, reflecting wider tensions on community aesthetics and functionality.
