Just been to the protest/memorial in John Frost Square over the councils decision to destroy the Chartist mural in Friars walk. The mural was built in the late 70's and has been a treasured work of art in newport ever since. There have been petitions to save it, and a demonstration planned for today to get people's voices heard, however unbeknownst to everyone workers went in on thursday and destroyed the whole thing. Absolutely disgusting, so much for elected councils supposedly supporting and working for the people!
