Catherine Fookes MP

Catherine Fookes, our local Member of Parliament, visited Devauden Fete on 5th July to officially open the new adventure playground.

Newport Bus has announced an extension to the timetable of the bus service through Devauden. The timetable now includes a 16.35 service from Chepstow arriving in Monmouth at. 17.30, Monday to Friday. This bus departs Devauden for Monmouth at 16:52.

Ken Reece, a longtime member and servant of our community passed away on Monday, 19th August aged 87 years.

Sadly, Jeff Miles, long time resident of Devauden, passed away during the first week of August. His funeral will be held on 13th September.

Local residents have shown their appreciation for the hard work by Rob, driver of the number 65 bus until 20th March.

The Chepstow Walkers Are Welcome Pathcare team has continued work on improving the footpaths around Devauden.

From 1st April 2024 there will be changes to the bus service through Devauden.

Following a successful campaign by Devauden bus users and others on the route, the Council have agreed not to cut the number of weekday services. There will also be an increase of one service each way on a Saturday. This has long been argued for by the Friends of the 65 Bus as it will encourage walkers, tourists and other visitors to use the Saturday service.

The new bus service will be operated by Newport Bus and, unfortunately, most of the drivers currently employed by Monmouthshire County Council will not transfer to the new operator. Local residents, Trevor and Cathy Pilling, are organising a collection to show appreciation to the hardworking and helpful drivers.

In late 2023 Chepstow Walkers Are Welcome agreed to work with Monmouthshire County Council and look after a section of the county with regards to the public rights of way network.

The Chepstow Walkers Are Welcome Pathcare team has begun work on improving the footpaths around Devauden.

A group of local residents has recently formed the Llanishen Area Public Rights of Way Project.  The group aims to ensure that the public right of way network in and around the village of Llanishen is clearly signposted, accessible and well maintained for the enjoyment of residents and visitors to the area.
