Newport fails to curb retail exodus as big names pack up shop Retail woes of Welsh city centre demonstrate increasing challenges facing UK high streets as they battle to surviveSue Jones is disappointed. She always treats herself to a Marks & Spencer roast chicken sandwich when she makes one of her occasional shopping trips from her home high in a Welsh valley to the city of Newport. Not today.M&S moved from the city centre earlier this year to a retail park on the outskirts. "That's a real shame," says Jones. "I hadn't heard it had gone. Every city centre needs an M&S. That's really depressed me. It was always one of my little treats. I'll have to go to McDonald's instead."Jones feels a loyalty to Newport. "I always used to come here with my mum and I've enjoyed it. But it's not the place it used to be. You walk around now and notice all the empty shops."Nearly one in five shops across Wales's high streets and malls are closed, a new survey has found, and a stroll along High Street and Commercial Street in Newport confirms Jones' observations th |

Research shows online access to be a key factor in empowering individuals, enabling social mobility and promoting general wellbeing.Despite this, those who could benefit most are missing out. More than 8.7 million adults in social housing have never been online, creating a lack of experience that will become more damaging as the government moves the welfare system online through universal credit.Some housing associations have identified the need to address this growing issue. Senior executives are acting as advocates for digital inclusion strategies, officers are seeking to learn and share best practise in forums like the Digital Housing Hub), and the N |
Snowdonia: Driven wild by a night out in Wales 'What if you get mugged or eaten by a bear?" cried my friend Jane as I packed my car for the journey ahead. Her suggestion was ridiculous for two reasons. The first is obvious: I was heading to north Wales, not North America. No bears of any variety were likely. The second is that if you take a minute to think about all the muggings that have been reported in the past 20 years, very few of them happened in the middle of the mountains of Snowdonia. |
