Council Chief apologises over Newport mural

The Chartist Mural was completed in 1978

The Chief Executive of Newport Council has apologised for not telling councillors when a commemorative mural was due to be demolished.

The Chartist mural was removed from the city last week, to make way for a new shopping centre.

The Council said it had to be taken down at short notice, because the area was unsafe.
