LOOKING at the artist's impression of how Newport Street will be after 'development' with all the shop fronts looking alike and very little 'street decoration' (like the elephants and trees and the canopy).
All I can say is how boring it looks compared to the pictures of what it was like in years gone by. I really do not see that the sad alterations will do much for improving the footfall there. Please put me as a definite NO in the category of as to whether the changes will boost trade.
