Much has been achieved in recent years – the completion and opening of Friars • Move Newport up the Walk retail and leisure centre in 2015 has perhaps been the best example ‘value chain’ of the city’s transformation. Newport’s location, sense of identity and growing confidence means the foundations are now in place to fulfil the city’s economic potential. The city has a proud and varied history and we want to build a future which respects this legacy whilst recognising that future economic growth will be founded on very different skills. We are home to many successful and growing businesses and the city is projected to grow significantly over the next 10 years. Our key aim over that period is to create the conditions which will stimulate further investment. This means we need to build our social capital as well as maintaining our focus on physical regeneration. Ultimately, we want to make Newport a city where everyone can achieve their potential. The abolition of the Severn Bridge tolls has removed a critical barrier to investment and we stand on the verge of an important new era for the city. Newport is now home to the Wales International Convention Centre, which is another example of how the profile of the city is changing. Effective partnerships will be at the heart of our approach and we want to work positively with investors to turn ambitious plans into reality to ‘Bridging the gap ensure all our communities see the benefit of economic growth. We look forward to continued discussions and thank you for your interest.

  • Desert Island Times 10
    D E S E R T I S L A N D T I M E S S h a r i n g f e l l o w s h i p i n NEWPORT SE WALES U3A No. 10 22nd May 2020 “Liriodendron Tulipifera Aureomarginata” – the U3A 20th Anniversary Tree Photograph by Steven and Karen Lansdown in Belle Vue Park, Newport A miscellany of contributions from OUR members 1 View from the Chair As we are not going to be able to publish a summer newsletter this year I thought I would nevertheless publish what would have been my contribution to that had things been normal! Clearly the content would have been somewhat different but the underlying messages are on the same theme. Our enforced closure after afternoon groups on Friday, 13th March has, I know, been disruptive for everybody. It is, after all, an important part of our weekly routine to attend U3A at Shaftesbury Street or to meet as walkers or cyclists and I am sure we are all feeling a great sense of loss. This magazine will, I hope, have filled at least a small gap and the online activities of the groups that are able to do something is, I am sure, a boon to their participants. I still hear of new initiatives and any further ideas will be most welcome! Desert Island Times is being circulated beyond Newport U3A – I send each edition to members in Caldicot, Torfaen, Usk, Dartmouth and Odiham (Surrey) U3As and to others who are not currently members of any U3A.
