Llanwern exchange }} Llanwern is an electoral district (ward) and smaller community (parish) in the urban-rural fringe of the City of Newport.
The ward is bounded the M4 and Langstone ward to the north, Ringland, Liswerry and the River Usk to the west, the River Severn to the south and the city boundary to the east.
The ward is home to Llanwern Steelworks — although steel making ceased in 2001, there is still a sizable rolling mill and steel coating operation based there. The redundant part of the works is set to be transformed into a residential development in coming years.
The Llanwern ward contains the parishes of Bishton, Goldcliff and Redwick, as well as the parish of Llanwern. The parish itself contains Llanwern village and the western half of the steelworks.*http://www.llanwernregeneration.info/
