Further to WQ99455, what plans does the Welsh Government have to protect and conserve the murals around the Old Green Roundabout which would be impacted by Transport for Wales's proposals for the roundabout?
Ateb
Atebwyd gan Deputy Minister for Transport (Mark Hooper)
Newport City Council has identified the Old Green murals as culturally significant assets and has commissioned specialist conservation work to inform decisions on their long-term future. This includes cleaning, condition surveys, high-resolution photography and 3D digital recording of the murals. The public was consulted in 2023 on options for the treatment of the murals as part of the wider Newport Central Travel Improvements proposals, with respondents invited to comment on their future.
A specialist mosaic restoration company has been engaged to develop conservation options, and protective measures are being implemented to prevent further deterioration while future options are considered. The Welsh Government has provided funding for this work through the Regional Transport Funding programme and will continue to work with Newport City Council as proposals for the Newport Central Travel Improvements scheme are developed.
