NEWPORT HAS CLEANEST STREETS

According to the Keep Wales Tidy, Newport and Monmouthshire top the list for cleaning up their streets. While Cardiff, and Blaenau Gwent have the most littered streets.

Volunteers from the charity inspected every county in the country across 12 months, and found Conwy to be the cleanest but that Blaenau Gwent was strewn with drink waste and dog fouling and Cardiff was littered with discarded fast food.

Only last year, Newport had been rated the Wales Dirtiest Area, with Monmouthshire coming a close 2nd.

The campaign group checking 3464 streets, the overall cleanliness has improved in Wales.

The most common litter volunteers found were smoking related which was found in an average of 86% of locations, the worst affected being Cardiff, Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly and Rhondda Cynon Taf.
