Newport ward
The Newport ward is made up of multiple areas. Part of the area near Newport Bridge is separated from the rest of the area by the A66. This area has the Macmillan Academy (secondary school), with shops on West Lane and a small public park called Carter Park. The St Cuthbert’s is a deconsecrated church in the area.
A second area is based around Ayresome Street and the northern part of Ayresome Green Lane. Ayresome Gardens (play park) is also in the area. The area has two primary schools, St. Archibald’s and Ayresome, with the Sacred Heart Primary just outside the ward. Just west to the latter primary was the former Ayresome Park football ground.
Another area, based off coming roads west side of Linthorpe Road south of Borough road, Gresham Road being a former ward name for the area. The area was formerly in the Acklam Ward, at a time when the area around Acklam Hall was called West Acklam. The area has had a slow housing re-stock from Victorian era housing, creating deprivation.[7]
Cannon, or Cannon park, is an area that has become light industrial and commercial around its original centre of Cannon Street. This area is next to the town centre proper. Newport community centre and Newport Primary School is in the area as well as Cannon Park congressional church, St. Columba’s just outside the ward was once the parish church for the area.[8]
