. What do you think about the first week of parking enforcement in Newport? Have your employees been struggling to park? we are interested to know as we can help with discounted public transport as low as £2.70 per day.
14 brave Newport Corporation employees gave their lives during World War One and Two. In 2023, we felt appropriate to commemorate them in the best way we know how- by naming 14 of our electric fleet after them.
On 11th of November and every other day, we will remember them.♥️
