The number of people visiting Newport city centre rose significantly in December, with recorded footfall of more than 1.3 million.The December footfall recorded 1,359,430 counts – up 29.12 percent on November and puts Newport ahead of similar sized towns and cities.
The busiest weekday was Friday 21 December, with 72,728 counts, while Saturdays were the busiest days on average - on Saturday 22 December there were 93,843 counts. The Springboard counter measures the number of ‘movements’ past a set location and is recognised as the most accurate way of measuring footfall in shopping areas. It was installed in early 2007 so year-on-year figures are not yet available.
