Welcome to Bishton Community Council Website

Bishton Community Council (in Welsh: Cyngor Cymuned Trefesgob) covers the three villages of Underwood, Bishton and Wilcrick. Located on the eastern side of the City of Newport, on the border with Monmouthshire, our Community has a mixture of urban and rural characteristics. The area forms part of the newly formed Bishton & Langstone electoral district (ward) and contains the eastern end of Llanwern Steelworks, the relatively modern Underwood estate and the two historic villages of Bishton and Wilcrick. The total population of the community is estimated at about 2,200.
