Why we should all be positive about Newport (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Well, here we are then. This is my last Talkin’ Up The Port. (That’s enough cheering at the back, thanks). When I started this column last August, I wanted to shine a light on the good things happening in Newport – the people, the projects, the places that make this city far better than some would have you believe. And what a year it has been. I cannot tell you how much I have enjoyed writing this column over the last 12 months. Every week has been a reminder that Newport is bursting with good n
Newport Live is 'one of the most important community organisations in the city' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As many people know, I’ve been closely involved with Newport Live for many years. I was a founding member of its board of trustees in 2015 and, in recent years, until a couple of months ago, when I retired from the board after 11 years, its chairman. Voluntary work can be tiring and time-consuming, but it is also hugely rewarding on a personal level – that’s why so many people do it. Volunteering for Newport Live has been one of the great privileges of my life. Stepping back has given me the cha
Why do hundreds get up for parkruns in Newport on Saturday mornings? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Anyone who’s ever taken even the quickest look at me will know one thing straight away: running is not my thing. I’m built more for a gentle stroll to the fridge than a sprint finish. But every Saturday morning, Newport proves that running – or jogging, or walking, or shuffling – absolutely is its thing. Because this city doesn’t just have one parkrun; it has two – Riverfront parkrun in the city centre, and Tredegar House parkrun in the grounds of one of Wales’ most historic estates. The Tredega

Newport City Radio has just celebrated its 18th birthday. So if ever there was a moment to shine a light on one of the city’s great volunteer‑powered institutions, this is it. What began as a youth‑led project in Pill has grown into a radio station that trains, supports, entertains and connects Newport like nothing else. It’s radio built on passion rather than payroll, and its story is one of graft, creativity and sheer determination. The roots go back to Urban Circle Radio, launched in 2007 as
One man's love of cycling sparked a movement of kindness in Newport (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every city has its characters, its grafters, its quiet heroes. Mike ‘Puffa’ Jones is one of Newport’s – a man who has turned a garden shed, a few donated tools, and a lifetime’s love of bikes into one of the most extraordinary community projects I’ve ever seen. FreeBikes4Kids isn’t just a charity; it’s a passion powered by the belief that every child deserves the freedom of two wheels. The origins are humble. Mike bought a bike for his grandchildren ‘for £2.50’, and fixed it up. He then asked vi
