Newport’s stunning new market will soon be home to outdoor seating spaces on High Street and Upper Dock Street as the city moves closer to the council’s vision as a destination city. The proposals were submitted to Newport council last month and have this week been approved.
Covered seating areas on High Street would provide 88 seats around tables with a walkway from High Street to the market and also a walkway between the market building and the seating areas.
The space will be surrounded by a dark grey wall while a line of planters will run parallel to Griffin Street. Pergola structures covering the seating areas will be supported by black steel frames with green roofing.
