in the 1960s, as part of a redevelopment scheme, a new square was named john frost square to commemorate the leader of the rising, and in 1978 a long mosaic mural, by kenneth budd, was created in a pedestrian underpass in the square. in 2007, an introductory panel was removed, and it was proposed that, as part of a further redevelopment scheme, the mural would be removed. proposals to demolish the mural were restated in 2012. despite a campaign to protect the mural, the council's contractors demolished it on 3 october 2013. a trust is to be set up to commission a new memorial with £50,000 of funding provided by newport city council.
