We’re grateful to the passer by this afternoon who raised the alarm. After the sub zero temperatures yesterday, overnight and today the gentleman was of course seriously cold and was treated for prolonged hypothermia by our Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust HART colleagues. Working seamlessly with HART and South Wales Police Rhondda Cynon Taf, Merthyr Tydfil and Bridgend officers, we packaged the gentleman onto our stretcher and carried him off the mountain to the awaiting ambulance. Once our COVID decontamination procedures had been carried out we returned to our homes. Another terrific multi agency effort and of course we wish the gentleman a speedy recovery.

Michael and
David Knight have formed a solid partnership at Newport Cricket Club over the past 35 years, expanding the club to be more inclusive and overseeing the return of first class cricket to the city after a 54-year absence. The pair have been involved with the club since they were schoolboys, and after their playing days took on numerous roles to stabilise the club after it lost its Rodney Parade home 30 years ago. With the club now based in Spytty Park, chairman Michael Knight said it was “really satisfying to see how it has developed” over the past three decades.
