Fantastic opportunity to lease the Old Youth Hostel Building in Newport!

We would like to invite further suggestions and/or new ideas from interested parties to enable us to secure this valuable asset.

Please contact us with your thoughts and proposals by 7th February 2025 via email

Thank you.

Leasing the YHA building the Old School Lower St Marys Street Newport.

When the Old School Lower St Marys Street Newport closed, part of the building was rented from Pembrokeshire County Council to the Youth Hostel Association, who provided a 24 bedroom hostel including a large kitchen and common room.

The Youth Hostel Association is “downsizing/rationalising” with 20 of it’s 150 properties up for sale with a further 30 identified for possible offloading.

The YHA has closed it’s building in Newport and no longer has an interest here.

Pembrokeshire County Council has offered to lease the building to Newport Town Council depending on what we want the building used for.

Newport Town Council would wish that the building is used for the benefit of the inhabitants and visitors to the area.

We can envisage that we sub-lease to a third party depending on the eventual end use.

Suggestions/Possibilities

1. To provide low cost accommodation to visitors along similar lines as that provided by the YHA.
2. To provide “bunkhouse” type accommodation. (along the lines of “Y Clinc” in Cardigan)
3. Town Council Office, Office space and Catering Kitchen.

We would like to invite further suggestions and/or new ideas from interested parties to enable us to secure this valuable asset.

Please contact us with your thoughts and proposals.

Road Closure – Temporary Revocation of One Way Roads – Newport – 2024/463

UPDATE – 18/09/24

The site programme has now been amended so that the initial enabling works shall be confined to Sunday working only. This is to reduce the impact to transport, public services, and local businesses.

We have re-programmed with Openreach to complete the Civils elements of their stats diversion works on the following 4no Sundays:

Sunday 20th October;
Sunday 27th October;
Sunday 3rd November;
Sunday 10th November.

On those dates the A487 carriageway shall be closed between Parrog Rd and Market St, from 0900hrs to 1900hrs each Sunday. Whilst the closures are in place, there will be a temporary revocation of the one-way system along the Upper W St / Upper Bridge St, so that it be used as a temporary diversion route for local traffic with the use of two-way traffic lights. Please note this will only be suitable for cars and light good vehicles (less than 7.5T). All Trunk Road traffic will be diverted along the official Trunk Road diversion route, shown on the attached drawing.

This Order will temporarily revoke the One Way Traffic Order on Upper West Street and Upper Bridge Street to enable two way traffic to utilise these roads under traffic light control. These routes however are only be suitable for light goods vehicles.

We are experiencing a problem with DOG MESS on the Playing Field.

This is of particular concern because children and adults use the field for playing and sport and may come into contact with dog faeces that is at best very unpleasant and at worst a danger to health.

Prior to football matches people have to scan the field picking up dog mess.
