Controversial plans to ban cars from a Welsh town centre will not be made permanent after residents raised concerns over the proposals.
Monmouthshire County Council will not go forward with proposals to close Newport Road, the main thoroughfare through Caldicot between the town centre and the B4245, to through traffic following comments from residents in the town.
The council initially closed the road for a three-week period in October 2021 to examine whether the best way to improve it would be to close it to through traffic and "understand the impact of such a closure on Newport Road itself as well on surrounding streets and nearby businesses".
