Newport Parish Council will be hosting the Newport Travel Forum on Saturday, 20 January 2018 10am-2pm at The Riverside Centre, Newport.
The forum will inform residents and stakeholders on initiatives and projects being undertaken to address and highlight transport, commuting and pedestrian issues for people who live, work and travel to Newport.
Shaping Newport Project
In addition to this, ARC Consulting will be giving a presentation on the Shaping Newport Project – a three-month project to gather the opinions of residents to help shape Newport in the future.
This is a good opportunity for the public and stakeholders to be advised and consulted on key issues affecting Newport and Island residents accessing the county town.
