A councillor has lost his fight to restore a castle, but says his campaign will go on.
Monmouthshire councillors rejected Tony Easson's call for funding to be "sourced immediately" by the authority to make repairs to Caldicot Castle.
Problems include the roof of the south-west tower leaking and windows rotting in the banqueting hall.
The council said it would like to restore the castle but there were other priorities, such as schools.
But Mr Easson claimed other councillors wanted to "play around with my words" in the meaning of his proposal.
He said he wanted the authority's assistance in finding money from the lottery and other grants, but not necessarily to fund the repairs by itself. |
