Oliver Hides takes your calls on antisocial behaviour, new builds and proper shoes.

Are you concerned about rising antisocial behaviour in your area? Shoplifting, criminal damage and a lack of visible policing is what what some Newport businesses say is putting their livelihoods at risk, which has led Newport MS Natasha Asghar to launch the 'Save Newport High Street' campaign. Does behaviour make you think twice before going to your local town?

Do you love a new build? The Welsh Governments latest house building figures has shown an 11% increase in housing completions for 2025/26. But – an opinion piece in Korea is amazed that us Brits don’t love new build homes because they don’t align with British taste, and they have no character. Whilst Koreans, by contrast, aren’t phased by identical looking dwellings… Is this true? How old is your home?

And finally, why don’t we polish our shoes anymore? Many of us have swapped our leather shoes for trainers But do you still shine your shoes? And, has our footwear become too casual?
