PLANS for a new leisure centre and college campus will signal that Newport is still “a city on the rise” - despite the impact of the coronavirus pandemic - the leader of the council has said.
Residents in Newport will be asked for their views on proposals to knock down the Newport Centre and replace it with a college campus, while also building a new leisure centre on a nearby site in the city centre.
The council’s cabinet agreed to open a public consultation on the proposals, which will run until January 29, at a meeting yesterday.
