FLOODING in Newport 03.01.2013. Now it can be seen why the Welsh office were wrong not to allow Newport to provide a barrage across the River Usk. Perhaps its time to look again at Newport Council’s proposals which were turned down in 1994. It would have prevented any flooding higher upstream than the Southern Distributor Road.
