The Beacon is all set to broadcast the news of Chepstow over the airwaves.

Our brand new show, called the Beacon Sandwich, will be presented by reporters Sarah Fraser and Laura Watkins every week on Chepstow Radio.

The programme will mix Chepstow news with great music to bring you an hour-long show every week.

The Beacon is also looking for a local hero to be featured on the show. So, if you know someone who is a hero to you, it could be a family member, a neighbour or a friend, then please contact the Beacon and let us know.

Chepstow Radio was established a year ago by Alex Stanley, and since then the radio has been involved in events including the Devauden music festival.

Alex said: "I'm hoping that the Beacon Sandwich will get the people of Chepstow engaged in the news and talking to each other.

"I set up Chepstow Radio a year ago after reading a tweet from Alison Beasley saying that Chepstow needed something like a local radio station to bring the community together.

"We have nine presenters in total, 11 now if you include the Beacon ladies, all coming from a different background and playing a variety of music."
