Poor quality new buildings of no architectural merit. For example, Staples/ Cinema warehouse at the gateway to Newport.
St Thomas Sq is a potential gem, and is a good "place". St.James' Square has greater potential to become the central focus of the town, but is blighted by traffic movements.
too much pollution from smoking and traffic. Would be nice to have some flower beds etc and sculpture/art to look at
Newport's generally easy on the eye and relatively pleasing to walk around. Certain central roads could do with emphasising the pedestrian over the car (an example of a more pedestrian-friendly street is the upper high street, unfriendly is lower St James street).
Airborne pollution must be monitored.
I think there could be more pedestrian only areas more art work/ sculptures around Newport
Making it more attractive would be lovely: ie, introduction of more colour to buildings, pavements & seating areas.
More green spaces with planting and seating.
