WE ARE quick to criticise our local council when they do wrong, it’s not very often I hear praise when they do something right.

Earlier this year we jumped on their backs for removing our regular residential road sweepers, when they put their plan B into action, with the consequences, more rubbish left behind. I am glad to say our regular road sweeper is back, and doing a good job, common sense has prevailed.

On another issue, reporting a road safety hazard, a speed retarder in Vivian Road, it was repaired in 24 hours. Well done Newport Council, keep it up, and thanks. Norman Plaisted Vivian Road Newport
