Since that closed many years ago, Newport has not had a supermarket in the city centre. As Debenhams in Friars Walk will be closing its doors for the final time soon I think that this is an ideal time for Tesco to be invited to open a superstore in the vacant premises. I believe that this would increase footfall in the city centre, there is ample parking close by, there is a bus station attached to the store and another just a short walk away so bus companies would hopefully see an increase in passenger numbers, this, in turn, would lower air pollution in the area.
