Politicians enjoy a taster session at local bowls club
Local politicians enjoyed a taster session at Newport Indoor Bowls Centre.
John Griffiths MS and Jessica Morden MP were welcomed to the centre by Welsh representatives Gavin and Kelly.
They were given a tour of the facilities and discussed the centre's ambitions with director Graeme Howard and his team.
Mr Griffiths said: "I was pleased to visit the Newport Indoors Bowls centre as part of my ongoing Active Newport campaign.
"A lot of the conversation we had was around the importance of strong partnerships – and it was great to hear about the work Graeme and his team are looking to do with others at the Glebelands to improve sporting provision in this part of Newport.
"I haven't had a go at bowls for over thirty years so it was nice to also have a go at a sport which requires lots of skill."
Ms Morden said: "It was a real pleasure to visit Newport Bowls Club and to hear directly from Graeme and the team about the club and the huge successes of some of the players who train there.
"I look forward to joining the team again when they're hosting a tournament."

Daffodils mark 160 years of Welsh settlers in Patagonia
The descendants of Welsh immigrants who set sail to Argentina 160 years ago have planted 1,500 daffodils as a nod to their roots. About 150 immigrants travelled to Patagonia on a converted tea clipper ship from Liverpool to Puerto Madryn in 1865, a journey that took two months. They had set out to create a new colony where they could preserve their culture, language, and Protestant nonconformist religion, free from English influence. They established their own Welsh-speaking communities in Patagonia, a barren and inhospitable place at the time, and the language is still spoken in the area now. David Mardones, who helped to plant the bulbs, said it would help them to "reinforce Welsh culture" in the area. The idea came from David's aunt Peca Jones, a relative of the first Welsh settlers to arrive. It was funded by Welsh artists, Wrexham supporters groups and previous visitors to the area. The daffodil field will be located in the Trevelin area on Route 17 near Nant y Fall. David said the project had only been possible thanks to "all the Welsh people who united" behind it. It took two days for the three of them to plant the bulbs. "We didn't have any sort of machines or anything," said David. "Just a spade to dig these long trenches." The bulbs are set to bloom in October, at the start of the Argentinian spring. David has planned an official opening ceremony to commemorate the 160th anniversary with relatives of the Welsh settlers invited, along with the community and the local tourism secretary. "It's going to be a big event to thank everyone for the love and support for the project," said David. He added there were plans to plant more bulbs next year. "Hopefully we'll have a drilling machine by then because my back would thank me for it," he said. It is also hoped that the project will attract visitors when the daffodils bloom in October. Gwion Elis-Williams, who moved to Patagonia from Wales in 2016, said: "Hotels are booked up for miles around. "I'm sure we will see Welsh tourists visiting and coming to see the daffodils." Gwion and his partner Nia, who works at a local Welsh school, have seen the area grow dramatically over the years. "It's an up-and-coming sort of destination in terms of attracting visitors," he said. "Since we've been here, Trevelin has doubled in size in terms of population." Gwion said it was wonderful to meet people who are "enormously proud" of their Welsh heritage. Any bulbs not used were donated to Nia's school - Ysgol Y Com - where they will planted by the children. The daffodils, a symbol of identity and rebirth in Wales, are part of an initiative to highlight the cultural connection between the two regions. Pete Howell, who organised the fundraiser, said it was "important" for people to understand the link. "It's amazing to think the people went over all those years ago," he said. His job was to "get the ball rolling" to make sure they had enough bulbs. "Some of the donations were amazing. We were getting money from all over the place," he added. But the project would have gone nowhere without David's infection enthusiasm, according to Pete. "He was so willing to get going," he said. "If you get something in his head it's all systems go." Pete said he would love to go and visit the area in the future to witness the fruits of his labour. "To see that field full of daffodils. What a story that would be." "I'll try and save some pennies for it." More than 10,000 daffodils to be shown at festival Welsh settlers' moral Patagonia approach Hunt for rare daffodils that are feared lost

MS calls for urgent improvements to railway resilience
A Senedd member is calling for urgent improvements to railway resilience. Monmouth MS Peter Fox has written to the Welsh Government to raise concerns about recent disruption on the Welsh Marches Line, which runs through Monmouthshire and connects Manchester and North Wales with Cardiff. Recent incidents have caused widespread delays and cancellations, including a collapsed culvert north of Hereford and structural problems with a bridge outside Cardiff Central. Mr Fox said: "Our railways are crucial to commuters and tourists across Wales. "I have two major stations in my constituency, in Abergavenny and Chepstow, which for a lot of people are their only way of commuting. "We have seen a lot of bad news around recent incidents on the Welsh Marches Line, and whilst these examples were not necessarily preventable, the knock-on effect is something that needs to be addressed. "Passengers were held up for hours, if not days by these problems, impacting on the whole network and affecting others across Wales. "I have written to the Welsh Government to ask for action to improve our resilience, to ensure that when incidents happen, passengers impact is minimalised." In his letter to the cabinet secretary for transport and north Wales, Mr Fox argued that while such incidents may not always be avoidable, the line currently lacks the resilience needed to cope with disruptions. He warned that any issues along the route have a 'dramatic effect' on the wider Welsh rail network, and called for steps to ensure essential services remain running when incidents occur.

'Road from hell' to fully reopen after 23 years
It's been called the "road from hell" but after 23 years of roadworks and congestion, one of the UK's most expensive and complex road upgrade projects has finally fully opened. The last traffic cone and contraflow was removed from the A465 Heads of the Valleys road in south Wales on Friday night after a £2bn upgrade that started back in 2002. The 28-mile (45km) improvement is designed to bring prosperity to one of the UK's most deprived areas and cut journey times between west Wales and the Midlands. Welsh ministers have said the upgrade will boost the region but opponents have criticised how long it has taken and the "extortionate" price tag. Over 8,000 caught breaking 20mph limit on one road Concern as major change to Severn Bridge begins Drivers frustrated at new £336m road's 50mph plan Margaret Thatcher's Conservative UK government initially drew up the upgrade programme in 1990 because of frequent tailbacks and serious crashes on parts of the route. Work to turn the road into a full dual carriageway began when Tony Blair was prime minister in 2002. Now after enormous overspends, major delays, a global pandemic and hundreds of carriageway closures, drivers can travel direct between Swansea and Monmouthshire without passing through roadworks for the first time in 23 years. The A465 crosses the south Wales coalfields, a national park and in some parts, twists close to people's homes. Almost 70 structures - including more than 40 new bridges and a dozen new junctions - have been built as part of the upgrade. Workers have planted 285,000 trees to mitigate its significant environmental impact - offsetting more than seven million kilograms of CO2 a year - in a country which declared a climate emergency six years ago. Creatures including bats, dormice and great crested newts have also been moved. "In 50 years' time, experts will look back and say the single biggest thing the Welsh government has done to raise the prospects of Heads of the Valleys communities is building this road," Wales' Transport Secretary Ken Skates previously said. "This is about generating jobs, prosperity, opportunities and better connecting and benefiting communities across the region." The Heads of the Valleys upgrade had been split into six sections - done from the most to least dangerous for drivers. The final stages cost £590m to physically build the road but because of the way the project is funded, it will cost £1.4bn - and the Welsh government has not yet paid a penny. The final stretch between Dowlais Top in Merthyr Tydfil to Hirwaun in Rhondda Cynon Taf is being financed using something called the Mutual Investment Model (MIM) - which is a bit like getting a car on finance. Instead of paying it off in one lump sum, the Welsh government will pay more than £40m a year for 30 years in return for an 11-mile stretch of road that will be maintained by a private firm until it is brought back into public ownership in 2055. Plaid Cymru has called this way of funding a "waste of public money" and said private firms would "cream off" a "substantial amount of profit". The Welsh Conservatives have said the cost and delays "epitomises Labour's 25 years of failure in Wales" and added the final "gargantuan" cost would have almost covered the scrapped M4 relief road around Newport - where there is about four times more daily traffic. The Welsh government said without borrowing cash the way it has, it would not have been able to finish the final section. That is because the UK left the European Union in the middle of the entire scheme, meaning access to money that had helped on previous sections was no longer available. The entire cost of the whole 23-year, 28-mile scheme will be about £2bn when everything is included. The Labour Welsh government said it had learned lessons from the project, changing construction contracts and reviewing indicators of contractor performance. According to taxi driver Michael Gate from Aberdare, Rhondda Cynon Taf, it was a "nightmare" travelling between Aberdare and Merthyr Tydfil when the roadworks were taking place. "It was really dangerous because it was one lane over there and one lane back," said the 63-year-old who has owned his taxi company since 2005. He added: "Now it's fantastic, it's got to be the best road in Wales. It's money well spent." Meanwhile, Claire Urch, 50, said the work had made journeys shorter but the constantly changing road lay-outs were "very difficult" for her daughter while learning to drive. "I've seen cars driving thinking it's a one-way street because they haven't had any signposting there and it's almost caused an accident on at least two occasions that I've been on there," Ms Urch said, speaking about one diversion by Aberdare. Nikki Webb, 49, lives in Hirwaun which she said had been "stuck right in the middle of it all". She said the work caused "chaos all the time" with lorries coming into the village but felt the "hassle was definitely worth it". Ms Webb added: "You can get to Merthyr so much quicker, I don't find there's traffic like there used to be." Mike Moore, who works as an operation manager for a traffic management company, said dualing the road "only made sense" from a safety point of view. "It's been five years of probably frustration for the public but in reality it pays dividends in the long run," he said. "These things have got to be built." It has come a long way from the start of this year when one affected man from Merthyr Tydfil described the Heads of the Valleys as "like the road from hell". He added: "Not even Chris Rea (singer) would dare come here." "As a whole, the Heads of the Valleys project is one of the UK's biggest road upgrade projects for many years," said Keith Jones of the Institution of Civil Engineers. "And what's been so challenging is keeping the existing road operational while the work has gone on in some challenging and bleak terrain." By Gareth Lewis, BBC Wales political editor So Wales DOES build roads after all - albeit expensive ones that take a long time to complete. The scheme to upgrade the Heads of the Valleys road predates a Welsh government decision to scrap all new major road projects on environmental grounds back in 2023. But a change of transport secretary from Lee Waters to Ken Skates last year means similar schemes could now happen in the future, if they reflected the climate emergency and were at the forefront of design. Welsh Labour has realised that some of its transport policies including the 20mph speed limit have been unpopular. The economic potential for the road was not lost on one Labour MS who commissioned a report by a think tank into it back in 2021. And with a Senedd election next year, expect Labour to signal the scheme's completion for all they're worth as it loops its way through many of the party's traditional south Wales heartlands.
