Taken from democracy.newport.gov.uk. Checked 31 Jul 2026 (2024/25 schedule — could not confirm a 2026/27 update). Fees change, so confirm with the council before you budget around them. Drivers spot changes before I do, so if something here is wrong please say and I'll check it against the council and fix it.
