Action - Destination

There is unrealised potential in the squares, a regular program of events during the summer would be great.

The town could be a hub of art, music, & culture with live entertainers/ buskers/ up-market stalls; general activity throughout the day and early evening

More activities for young/ teenagers

Lack of community activities involving all ages/races etc

Events Calendar (Streets and Spaces) extend the previous recommendation and curate a programme of free public events in Newport, in its squares, parks and public buildings, as well as its civic hubs and campuses and its districts and neighbourhoods. NPC, NBA, IWC and many others, have suggested ideas already and there is a strong link to Newport’s church network and its ambitions to extend its own community services. The objective is to build the quality and diversity of spectacle, event and encounter that Newport offers its residents and visitors, leading to a locally distinctive Newport calendar. The events programme can also be used to demonstrate and demystify for all the procedures for booking and permitting regular activity in the town.
