Newport has undergone major changes in the past year, with even more on the horizon in 2023 and beyond. Newport Market recently celebrated its first anniversary since reopening in March 2022 following a multi-million pound redevelopment that includes a food court and bar on the ground floor, 70 workspaces, and refurbished market stalls.
The market has been met with positive feedback and features many big names in the food industry including Meat and Greek, Flour and Ash and Seven Lucky Gods. Its success has been complimented by the redevelopment of Newport's Market Arcade just a few doors down on High Street and the transformation of Newport Arcade across the road late last year.
Although questions remain over the long-term plans for major spaces like the old Debenhams building and Admiral House, some other developments are set to take a step forward this year thanks to funding from Newport City Council. Here are the big projects the council is set to spend money on in the 2023/24.
