If you had a magic wand what one wish would you grant Newport?

As a massive County fan it would have to be our own ground. Can I sneak in a cheeky second one? I wish more people would litter pick. I go out at least once a fortnight in the Malpas area and the amount of litter is shocking and it does make you feel good picking it up.

Three places anyone visiting the city should make the effort to go?

Canal - great walks. A County match because it's the County! And I also like walking on the river side. That's a nice walk

Choose one thing Newport should be really proud about?

Its football team. Come on the County!
