All my life minus a few years of uni in Brighton.

It's accessible, friendly, not too big and not too small.

Dragons or County?
Both! But probably county because it brings more business.
Best memory of your time living here?
It’s difficult to have just one when you’ve lived here your whole life!
Favourite Newport pub?
The Ridgeway. No specific reason - just love it.
What one thing that has gone do you miss the most?
Debenhams and having the clock in John Frost Square.
Favourite building in the city and why did you choose this particular one?
The Transporter Bridge or the clock that used to be in John Frost Square for obvious reasons.
The old clock at John Frost Square
Favourite place to grab a coffee or tea?
Ridgeway cafe. It's the only place open at the moment. In normal times I enjoy Coffee #1 in John Frost Square. I especially love the bookshelf decor.
The Ridgeway, Newport
Where would you go for a special meal?
The Drago Lounge in Friars Walk because it makes me happy.
Best place for a walk?
Ridgeway/Allt-yr-Yn nature reserve. I love walking down the old road to nature reserve and then along the canal.
If you had a magic wand what one wish would you grant Newport?
More funding especially for the town centre.
Three places anyone visiting the city should make the effort to go?
Caerleon - beautiful and for our Roman history. Ridgeway - the views and coffee. Town - let’s pump money into our town!
