We want to see a Wales with a better sustainable democratic future – its time to change Newport and change Wales.
Newport must directly benefit from the green energy revolution, with its deep water port and highly skilled and experienced workers - our city should be at the forefront of the development of off-shore wind, tidal lagoons, tidal turbines and a revisited Usk river barrage.
Newport needs decent affordable public transport. A well-planned Metro is the only realistic option, which will save our environment, our time, and our money.
We need a new railway station at Caerleon and revived direct hourly rail service from Ebbw Vale via Rogerstone into Newport.
We need new railway stations at Llanwern and Magor and better local rail services to Cardiff and Bristol.
Wales needs major investment in environmentally sustainable affordable homes and to bring in rent relief for people who pay more than 30% of their income on rent.
We must reverse the tide on rough sleeping in our city, not by punishing the vulnerable as Labour and the Tories wish to continue to do, but by providing safe, accessible, and supportive services for everyone who need them.
Plaid aims to create a Welsh justice system, devolve policing and create a new crime prevention fund to recruit 1600 extra police officers, that being at least 2 for every community in Wales, to keep us safer.
We face a double problem, a Labour dominated national assembly that’s bereft of ambition, ideas and the tools to do the job. We also have an increasingly dysfunctional Westminster that is simply not interested in Wales and Newport.
If it is not us, then it’s no one - Wales it’s us!
