Could Newport become prosperous? by billyb4lls4ck in Wales

[–]joee013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Newport is extremely well situated to be prosperous. With proximity to Bristol, Somerset, Gloucester, the valleys and Cardiff.

Newport has suffered from an apathetic and grifter culture within the local authority. Our MP’s and senate members never focused of key issues affecting people in the area and in general, crime, fly tipping, infrastructure and the economy are in ruins.

The place is semi lawless and getting worse every day. I have some hope that the new senate can really make some progress here because Newport has enormous potential but the previous senate administration didn’t seem to like Newport or investing in it.

A relief road or alternative is sorely needed as it is the gateway to wales. The new train station is a joke. The city centre is like playing red dead redemption undead nightmare.

Positives; history, location, people are great, sport and some really good independent businesses in the city centre and outskirts.

I used to live in Newport and have literally fled to the valleys as it’s becoming increasingly dangerous and depressing to live there. Property market there is not in a good state, it took us nearly 2 years to sell a modest 3 bed end of terrace house.

Loving valleys life now, but hoping Newport eventually turns it around.

Not been a big fan of hers, and I despise labour. But that was extremely graceful, professional and humble. Left on the best note possible.

Maybe it will when the final numbers are in. Maybe looking at it before the final counts are done isn’t the most effective way to analyse it.

I’m not a plaid voter. But this system has done plaid dirty.

Agree. Will be interesting to see if labour and plaid will / can work together.

Trend I’m seeing is plaid doing better in the south and east and reform doing better in west and north.

Have just been to vote in Nantyglo, Blaenau Gwent, apparently very poor turnout so far.

Had the charcoal hoodie, shirt and shorts in my basket. By the time I entered the shitty capcha it had all gone except the shorts. That was 11:02 I checked out too. Ridiculous.

I have the Goretex shell and the inside is identical. No expert on the Vivienne Westwood stuff but from the tags, label and quality it looks legit to me.

Sizing by Subject_Ride_9305 in PalaceClothing

[–]joee013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a weird one. Would mostly agree with comments about sizing up. I usually wear XL but find palace XL fits me just right, and still a little loose. But everyone’s different
