Shaping Newport - Arc Consulting p.51

I would like to see a larger pedestrian area between Edinburgh woollen mill and blacks - this would encourage a more inclusive market, cafes and restaurants with pavement tables.

in the alleyways there should be more lights as it is quite scary at night and there should be more benches in parks and fields so you can sit in the summer and winter

Simplify regulation to help things happen (Stop Stopping Things) maybe a pedestrian area in the centre with a route around it or a main shopping centre covering the high street area

Air quality feels poor. Traffic too close to pedestrians.

Public spaces are uninspiring. Public art and entertainment would help as would areas with plenty of seating and sociable space, safe for children.

Our town hub County Hall is an eyesore and gives a bad representation of the Council,

I like Newport. It has some great architecture. It also has some abominable places, like the Cineworld edifice. Apart from being ugly and out of scale with the rest of the town, it's ill-thought out for pedestrians. Try walking on the 'path' in front of Maplin to Staples. It narrows down to nothing, forcing pedestrians to walk in the road.

County Hall complete eyesore. The Georgian properties and Churches are amazing and the town is steeped in History.

Town Squares have improved thanks to NPC planting schemes.
