• Sport to go to the Valleys • Cyncoed & Caerleon to be sold off for residential development
By Retro’s Education Correspondent

These plans would result in all sports courses being transferred to it valleys campus and the Cyncoed land potentially
being sold off for residential development in a carpet bagging move to generate funds. Sources at Newport University have also confirmed to Retro that they see the sale of the Caerleon campus as inevitable as well should the controversial proposals go ahead. .Such a move would leave Newport University with just its new city centre operation.
The loss of the Cyncoed campus would be a major blow to the city of Cardiff and would lose a heritage which has seen this School produce world class athletes , Olympic Gold Medallists
