Did you know that artificial light at night can have a serious impact on wildlife? Bats, birds, moths, bees and other pollinators rely on natural darkness to feed, navigate and thrive. Excessive outdoor lighting can disrupt these natural behaviours, affecting biodiversity and local ecosystems. By making small changes—such as dimming unnecessary lights, using downward-facing fixtures and switching lights off when not needed—we can help protect our wildlife and preserve our beautiful night skies. Together, we can create a cleaner, greener and darker Newport, supporting nature while reducing energy waste for future generations. Dim the lights, protect the night!

There is no power for change greater than a community working together!
Newport Tidy Towns weekly MONDAY evening meetup at 6.30pm at the bottom of Main Street, focusing on litter picking, weeding, planting, and small maintenance projects, and anyone who would like to support the Newport Tidy Towns is welcome to join in.
The successful Tidy Town campaigns over the years have played a role in making Newport an attractive place to live and a welcoming, beautiful town for people to visit.
Volunteers only need one spare hour to join and help make a positive impact. If you cannot attend the weekly meetup, people are encouraged to pick up a few pieces of litter while out on their usual daily walk. Whether you pick up a couple of cans or do a full-scale neighbourhood litter pick, it all makes a big difference!
We are so proud of our town and grateful to all the local dedicated band of volunteers who help to make it so special.
