Action - Association

The County Capital (Influence and Control) Newport is functionally the Island’s nerve-centre, congregating public and emergency services, education, public health, banking, and legal advice. Concentrate this, do not dilute by separating or distancing key services. The greater the diversity and frequency of contacts between people and organizations delivering services, stakeholders and businesses, residents, visitors and commuters, the more positive action for change will happen. The existing campuses and hubs constitute this nerve-centre: Hospital, IW College, Medina College, Seaclose, County Hall and courts, Broadlands, Guildhall, Newport Quay, Downside and Isobel, Victoria Pavilion, the bus station and library complex; each considered for the land and buildings it has to offer to a deliberate mixing of core functions: training and accommodation, HE and FE, after-hours community activities, youth provision, public health, public information and advice.

The community functions better when working with the decision makers rather than being told what will happen there are common issues we encourage residents to attend more meetings when town decisions are being made
