The van is parked in Clayton Street near the corner of Corelli Street. The Caldicot and Wentlooge Levels IDB (Internal Drainage Board) offices are at Pye Corner, Broadstreet Common in the Nash area of Newport. The Board is responsible for the water level management of the Gwent Levels, a low-lying flat area between Chepstow and Cardiff, bounded by the tidal Severn Estuary to the south and the M4 motorway to the north, where valuable agricultural, commercial and residential land would otherwise be regularly flooded.
