INTRODUCTION 1.1. The River Usk is a dominant landscape feature within the County Borough of Newport and has played an integral part in the development of the city. The transportation of coal and iron and other dock related industries placed the Usk at the centre of Newport’s growth and the focus of activity for Newport’s population. With the decline of such industries also came the decline in the visual appearance of the land along the River and its function in Newport’s vitality. The Council is keen, however, to regain the River’s prominence and sense of place in Newport’s environment, and has placed the Usk at the heart of large scale regeneration proposals for Newport. Scope of Strategy 1.2. This document attempts to highlight the current situation with the River, taking into account historical information and studies, and identify key recommendations for the many issues influencing the River’s future. These cover a mixture of management issues as well as potential development opportunities. Many of the key recommendations require further work to be carried out by other statutory organisations and as such this Strategy represents a starting point in co-ordinating the different functions of the River.

ABSTRACT This thesis lays the groundwork for Christian congregations engaged in mission. It emerged from my shared experience and reflections of the Christians in Newport engaged in Mission. The focal point of exploration of the thesis was how Christians in Newport in South Wales defined their Christian task and how this affected their expression in the Communities where they lived. This thesis seeks to give a voice to the views of the People in Newport. A detailed overview of the historical and current status is explored and described. This reveals a considerable change and adaptation in missiology, Church expression and new forms of church. The current experience of some groups of Christians in Newport is described based on extensive fieldwork.

  • CITY of NEWPORT Investment Prospectus
    CITY OF NEWPORT Investment Prospectus Dinas CASNEWYDD OUR OBJECTIVES Foreword On behalf of the Newport Economic Network we are delighted • Deliver shared prosperity to present our investment prospectus for the city of Newport. • Build an economic environment The prospectus has been prepared by partners across the city and sets of growth and success out our ambitions to transform Newport over the next 10 years. 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.
