Senedd members hail Newport as ‘a city on the rise'
John Griffiths began a debate on the city by quoting business journalist Douglas Friedli, who wrote: 'Best thing about London? It's less than two hours from Newport.' Mr Griffiths agreed with the journalist's assessment, describing Newport as a place with a significant past, a strong present and a promising future. Newport has been dubbed a 'city on the rise' (Image: NQ) The Senedd member, who was born in Pill after his mother moved from Ireland, said the city has long welcomed people from all over the world who want to make Newport their home. With many moving from across the border from Bristol in recent years, he told the Senedd the city's population has increased by nearly 10% to 160,000 over the past decade. 'There really is a sense of the city growing in confidence and being on the rise,' he said. Mr Griffiths, who will stand down next May having represented Newport East since 1999, said the city is quickly becoming central to the world in terms of the semiconductor industry. He welcomed the opening of KLA's new £100m research and development centre in the west of Newport in May, creating around 750 jobs.

And, highlighting the city's Roman and Chartist history as well as the iconic transporter bridge, Mr Griffiths described Newport's cultural offer as equally impressive. 'In fact, between 2015 and 2022, Newport saw the fastest growth in the creative sector of any city in Wales – at an astonishing 125%,' he said. Mr Griffiths, a proud grandfather who ran Saturday's riverfront parkrun with his 11-year-old grandson, also emphasised Newport's notable sporting history and present.

Natasha Asghar, the Newport-born Conservative who represents South Wales East, described the city as a wonderful place to grow up. 'I love the fact that Newport is a diverse place,' she said. 'There are so many different people from so many different communities who all get on coherently, cohesively with each other and they're the ones who truly bring the place to life.' Proclaiming Newport's location as 'unbeatable', Ms Asghar called for better transport links. She also criticised the UK Government's 'short-sighted' decision to cut the shared prosperity fund, saying this has resulted in significant job losses across the city. Plaid Cymru's Peredur Owen Griffiths, who also represents South Wales East, highlighted that the Urdd Eisteddfod will be coming to Newport in 2027.

Arcadia is one of the businesses at the Arcade (Image: NQ) She said Newport's economic evolution is being shaped by semiconductors, advanced manufacturing and energy, positioning the city as a 'hi-tech leader with global influence'. Ms Bryant, who is responsible for councils and housing in Wales, hailed Vishay's acquisition of Newport Wafer Fab in 2024 which was accompanied by a £300m investment. The Newport West Senedd member said: 'Through the strategic investment in renewal, culture and community, and engagement with the local authority, businesses and community groups will all help to shape a vibrant, modern city ready to seize future opportunities.'

Fury over video of Brit women fighting in vicious brawl at Tenerife hotspot
Dramatic footage of the brawl, filmed in the early hours near an infamous nightclub strip, shows the two British women grappling on the pavement as jeering onlookers egg them on Two British women have been caught in a violent street fight on a notorious Tenerife nightclub strip - a scene that's ignited a firestorm of outrage among locals already fed up with drunken tourist antics. Dramatic footage of the brawl, filmed in the early hours near the infamous Las Verónicas strip in Playa de Las Américas, shows the women grappling on the pavement as jeering onlookers egg them on. One lunges at the other, slamming her into the ground. The move is followed by a flurry of punches before passers-by finally intervene to tear them apart. The video, shared on Instagram via the account @tenerifequejasvecinales, has since gone viral, sparking renewed calls for tighter controls on nightlife and an increased police presence in the south of Tenerife. Social media users flocked to the comments to slam the tourists for their unruly behaviour. "This is becoming unbearable," one said. Another wrote: "What a disgrace, and it's only getting worse." The fight has echoed what many residents see as the dark side of mass tourism in Tenerife's south - and comes at a time when the island is already grappling with a drop in British bookings and rising local unrest. Anti-tourism reached boiling point on May 18, when thousands of demonstrators flooded streets and beaches across the Canary Islands. It comes after a sharp 8% year-on-year decline in UK summer reservations, according to Santiago Sese, president of Tenerife's Chamber of Commerce. He warned on Friday that British tourists are being lured elsewhere, citing gains in countries like Turkey, Greece, Egypt, and Morocco - while UK-targeted ad campaigns are failing to bring more travellers in. Tenerife welcomed a record 5.6 million visitors in 2023 - 600,000 more than in 2019 - but the strain is showing. In March 2024, angry slogans like "tourists go home" and "your paradise, our misery" were scrawled across buildings, highlighting simmering resentment over rising costs and stagnant wages. Anti-tourism campaigners also claim that the rise in Airbnb and holiday lets have sparked housing issues, with a growing number of homes becoming unavailable to rent to locals. "Everything is for tourists... this is our prison paradise," a disgruntled local wrote on a Facebook community forum. "Just try to understand us local people. If you don't[,] go home!" Officials have yet to respond publicly to the latest street brawl.
