Cultural vandalism or a much needed redevelopment? It is not our place to decide but Newport Council has today destroyed the mural depicting the Chartist uprising and its bloody put-down. The mural created by Kenneth Budd in 1978 was today smashed up with a mini-digger despite petitions and protests to save it (see footage below).
There are plans to recreate the the mural but is really what the people of Newport want? You decide. Please use the form below to let us know how you feel.
