THE LETTER from Mr Hayes certainly rings true. Newport is in need of a banner that reflects its widely-held image to the greater advantage. This is particularly pressing in view of the impending Nato summit at the Celtic Manor, which despite all protestations to the contrary, still remains within the city boundaries. A logo would also not go amiss and one which, this time, specifically represents Newport rather than Wales as a non-participatory whole.
The banner and copies of the same could be flown over all entrances to the city, so that all who see it might take heed. I suggest the logo could be a combination of a scythe and an empty shop, while the wording should read: ‘Abandon All Hope All Ye Who Enter Here’ It seems under the circumstances the kindest thing to do.
