I AM a devoted member of the Central Kaff in Chepstow and have been since it opened last year.

There have been a lot of things said about us lately, mostly bad. Not many people actually know of the things we do for the community including the mural in the subway which, I know, took a lot of time and organisation for many of us. We are at present organising a litter pick along the Wye Valley Walk.

I do understand some of the local people's worries but we are not all bad.

I personally feel that the situation in Chepstow would get worse if there wasn't a place like the Kaff for us to go. – Luke Birbeck, Burnt Barn Road, Bulwark, Chepstow.
