About

Newport South & West sits at the island’s centre, where the River Medina runs through the town and reaches the quay, showing a tidal rise and fall each day. County Hall, the Isle of Wight Council offices, is in the centre and the main bus interchange gives the area its transport role. The High Street and adjoining streets host the principal shops and the indoor market, while the Isle of Wight College and St Mary’s Hospital serve further education and health needs within the ward. Small boatyards and quaysides line the riverfront alongside civic buildings and riverside workshops.

Community and cultural venues are close at hand: Quay Arts operates from the quay and St Thomas’s Church (Newport Minster) marks the town centre. Residential streets fan out to the south and west, mixing terraces, family homes and pockets of light industry. The ward functions as the island’s administrative and commercial hub, with pedestrian routes linking the riverfront to civic facilities and to the wider bus network that connects Newport to other island settlements.
