Cwmbran

At Pontnewydd Primary School in Cwmbran, staff from South Wales Fire and Rescue Service and Gwent Police brought along animals like snakes, hedgehogs and foxes for children to meet.

Every year, journalist Ben Black publishes a playful fake story on his community news site Cwmbran Life for April Fools' Day.

In 2020, Mr Black published a fake story claiming Cwmbran had been recognised by Guinness World Records for having the most roundabouts per square kilometre.

The concept for his story in 2020 came from Cwmbran being a new town, where "often linking houses with roundabouts is the easiest way to build".

The court heard Nodwell was spoken to by the officer while he was attending a 999 call in Cwmbran, and became increasingly agitated during the conversation.
