Newport Council: Demolition started as mural 'unsafe'

Newport City Council recognises how important the Chartist history is to Newport.

The mural is a modern day depiction of an historical event that happened in Newport and has served to remind us of Newport’s past, but we must now focus on Newport’s future.

The current Chartist mural is in a very precarious position, as it is attached to the wall of the multi-storey car park which is extremely unsafe.

The council has had to take immediate action with regards to pre-demolition preparations and safety precautions.

Major demolition work will be starting at the end of this month.
