A BUS company have announced changes to a number of services for the weekend and the following week. 

Newport Bus have announced that three regular local services will see a change in their regular routes for this weekend and next week due to the roads being closed for planned necessary roadworks. 

From Monday 28 October to Friday 1 November, between 09:00-16:00, Aberthaw Road in Alway will be closed for roadworks.

During this time, routes 5, 6, 7, 20 and 21 will be unable to serve Penkin Hill South bus stop both inbound and outbound.
