Unfit for Human Habitation: There Must Be a Better Way

Until recently the dockside area of Pillgwenlly in Newport, South Wales - known locally as ' Pill ' - was a proud and colourful working class community. Now the council is committed to demolishing ' Pill ' as quickly as possible. A recent Government White Paper drew attention to the ' massive and unacceptable disruption of communities' brought about by comprehensive redevelopment. Jeanne La Chard talks to the residents who feel that many of the old streets could and should be saved.
