Jonathan T Clark’s six pledges to the people of Newport West:
We need affordable homes prioritised for local residents and we need to end street homelessness.
Our country lacks, a serious well thought out integrated housing structure plan, a modern planning system and a realistic vision or plan for strategically developing our housing for the future and we need to develop a sustainable protected green belt for Newport and Wales.
We need a public transport revolution for Newport, the metro must deliver - saving our environment, our time and money. We need a new railway station for Caerleon / Ponthir and an hourly rail service from Ebbw Vale and Rogerstone into Newport.
Newport must be at the forefront of the green energy revolution - with our deep-water port, our highly skilled adaptable workforce, we are a natural centre for off-shore wind, tidal lagoons, tidal turbines and an Usk river barrage
Newport has suffered because of the obsession with directly competing with Cardiff and Cribs Causeway. We need to focus on growing small local businesses that supply our needs as well as hosting the usual suspects to bring economic life back to our city centre.
The proposed Cardiff City region and the Western Gateway project will not serve Newport well. I will ensure that Newport has a strong voice in the Senedd, I will work hard to put the interests of Newport, rather than party interests, first.
