Alway Primary School criminal damage

Statement by Councillor Deb Davies, cabinet member for education and early years
Alway Primary School/Ysgol Gynradd Alway

I am extremely saddened and disappointed by the attack on Alway Primary School which caused so much damage it has had to close today, impacting on the education of young children. 

We share the school and the community’s shock at what has happened and absolutely condemn this criminal behaviour. 

I would appeal to anyone who has information about the incident to contact the police. I hope that the perpetrators are swiftly brought to justice - such behaviour will not be tolerated in Newport.
