Remembrance Sunday has been the highlight of my year as Deputy Mayor. I laid a wreath on behalf of Baroness Wilcox and the House of Lords.
Itโs vital to remember those who gave their yesterdays for our tomorrows.
Thank you, Sea Cadets Dylan + Iestyn, for leading the Mayoral Party to the Cenotaph!
Today marks start of 2025 @PoppySouthWales appeal. Weโve begun putting up poppies donated by locals. You can see them in Gaer +Maesglas, more to come as donations arrive. If youโd like to contribute, please reach out. We thank donors publicly unless they wish to remain anonymous.
Had a productive afternoon litter picking in Gaer Vale! Despite the rain, we managed to collect 12 bags of litter.
Thanks to Matt and daughter as well as Kate Thomas, Julie and Edward
Loved being able to represent the mayor Yesterday at the Newport City Council National Play day. A fantastic event seeing many free activities for young people (and maybe a few adults too ๐) to enjoy!
Well done and thanks to all involved
Thank you today for the local councillors joining me in their own time for helping with an arranged litter pick.
