About

Beechwood is a residential area and an electoral ward within the city of Newport, Wales. It takes its name from Beechwood Road, which runs through the neighbourhood and links the streets to local shops and services. The housing stock includes terraces and semi‑detached homes alongside pockets of later infill. Small parades provide everyday retail and a handful of takeaways and convenience stores. Public transport serves the area with regular bus links, and the ward returns councillors to Newport City Council.

Community facilities include a primary school, sports pitches and a compact public park used for informal games and walking. A community centre hosts clubs and meetings, and local groups look after planting and seating in small greens and verges. The layout makes short walks and cycling practical for errands and school runs. The area is focused on neighbourhood life, with amenities aimed at residents rather than larger commercial or visitor attractions.
