WITH respect for D Woolley’s letter, I’m afraid he or she has rather missed the point. Of course Radio 4 believes the Nato summit is to be held in Cardiff. In the greater picture nationwide, Newport has virtually ceased to exist. It’s town centre vaporised, shoppers migrated to Cwmbran, workforce decimated, bus and railway stations objects of ridicule – it has even been re-named Vale of Usk by the summit’s venue – so much for credibility on both sides. The only remaining issue seems to be how to bypass it as speedily as possible.

Carry on regardless Radio 4, and don’t spare the horses. We are all bound to be Cardiff sooner or later.
