Take the Bus
Our village no 65 bus service is under threat and needs more passengers so why not make use of it to go for a walk on our wonderful footpath network? Just a short ride to Maryland, Trellech, Whitebrook Crossroads or Penallt gives great opportunities for linear walks back to The Narth. Don’t hesitate – the bus is there for us all to use, and if you have a bus pass it’s free!
The timetable is available on this website

As always you should get a copy through you door. If it doesn’t arrive get in touch with the committee (you can use our Contact Us page)
UPDATE: The County Council had intended to withdraw the 65 bus service at the end of July. However, they have now announced that “members have reflected upon this proposal and its implementation has been suspended”. They say that “this is because a wider review of public bus services is being undertaken at a county wide and potentially regional level” but the other explanation is the outcry from the villages affected, with, apparently, over 1,000 signatures on the petition (paper and online) calling for a protection of the service, as well as the many letters and emails sent.
The issue is not over, but at least we have a temporary reprieve pending the results from this ‘wider review’.

The 65 bus connects Chepstow to Monmouth via Devauden, Llanishen, Trellech, The Narth & Penallt. The service is threatened by financial cuts by Monmouthshire County Council.
Some residents on The Narth have started a campaign to save the 65 Bus, as they believe the loss of this essential service will cut off many people from education, employment and social services. It will impact most heavily on young people and the elderly.
If you agree that this vital service to a large rural area needs to be supported and funded by local government then please sign the petition:
Family Beetle Drive, June 2018
The Village Hall committee, all volunteers ourselves, rely on support from the rest of the village and appreciate all the help we get to keep things going at the hall. From the Glade Tavern volunteers to all the people hiring the hall for village groups, everyone contributes to maintaining our building and facilities, which in return provides everyone with a place for the social activities that are so important to our community.
I wanted to highlight two recent examples of events organised by people not on the committee which have benefitted the hall financially, while providing great, fun social occasions for people of all ages.
Alison and Mark Arnell and their team of young helpers raised £310 from the Big Breakfast, which was divided between hall funds and Home-Start Monmouthshire. (We have received a letter of thanks from Home-Start which stresses how valuable donations are to enable them to continue to support vulnerable families in the county.)
On 29th June, Rachel Widdicks and Mary Pardington organised the Family Beetle Drive, with food provided by Brendan Pardington. This raised £155 for hall funds, another valuable contribution.
But mostly, a full room with every generation joining in the fun – that’s what the Village Hall is all about.
