Railway Station

Ebbw Vale, a Welsh town with the highest proportion of Leave voters in Wales during the Brexit referendum, has struggled to replace EU funding that once supported its economy. Despite new facilities like a hospital, tech firms, and a cybersecurity research center, the town remains quiet with few people using the developments.

A police officer who shot dead a knife-wielding man at a busy railway station was cleared by a watchdog, which determined the use of force was proportionate. The incident occurred at a public transit location, and the officer's actions were deemed justified by the oversight body.
