Leisure facilities among new plans for Newport
Leisure facilities and improved public realm are among revised proposals for the revamp of Newport, Shropshire, which have been unveiled by Telford and Wrekin Council (TWC).
The local authority is working with developers Davidsons and St Modwen on plans for new commercial, retail, residential and community facilities on the southern edge of the town. In addition to the provision of leisure facilities, a reduction in the number of new homes and an more green space are now mooted following feedback from an earlier consultation.
TWC deputy leader Richard Overton said: "We have listened to the views of residents on the initial exhibition and feel that the scheme we now have will deliver sustained economic growth in Newport."
