➡️ The biggest investment in Newport’s roads and pavements in more than a decade

➡️ Streetlights all over the city back on overnight

➡️ Cleaner, tidier streets across Newport with more money for street cleaning and grass cutting

Our budget proposals for Newport are all about those things that matter every day.

We can’t fix 14 years of damage caused by Tory austerity in one fell swoop, but thanks to the Labour government in Westminster and the Labour government in Cardiff, we can make a strong start in 2025.

We’re listening!

One of the things our councillors hear about most from residents is the need for more street cleansing and more grass cutting.

That’s why we’re proposing to increase the budget for these services by £370,000 in the next budget. With this money, we’ll set up a response squad to help keep the city tidier.

The consultation for the 2025/26 budget is open now. To have your voice heard, take part - comments left here (or anywhere else on socials)don’t get included.
