Again Newport at the top table of European cities - exactly where we belong. Wales’ only city in the programme, learning from & contributing to the very best. As a leader, I’ll never stop learning & improving how we tackle inequality in Newport & making sure no one is left behind

In 2025, I will be completing my visits to every primary school in Newport. I’ve already visited Somerton & Jubilee park. Our teachers, teaching assistants & school staff do an amazing job. We must back them, so I’m pleased to announce an in-year 600k cash boost for our primaries

The clearest example I’ve seen of the circular economy in action is Re:Make Newport. A pleasure to meet the staff & volunteers that are challenging our throw-away society. Items can be fixed at minimal cost compared to purchasing a new one. Give them a go! https://t.co/wfH8CPLvs5

Privilege to attend and speak at the unveiling of the Lady Rhondda statue. Her legacy and statue serves as testament to her fierce campaign for women’s rights & suffrage and as an inspirational beacon to the next generation of women leaders in business, industry and politics.
