Following resistance from bus companies Newport City Council is introducing new traffic orders to enable them service to access the Market Square area of the city. Experimental traffic orders will be introduced with immediate effect to address safety concerns from the bus operators and police. The main traffic flow in the area at the rear of Newport Market will be from Corn Street through to the Old Green Roundabout.
As part of the ongoing City Centre re-development works, the existing bus station is due to be permanently reduced in capacity. Alternative locations for bus services affected include Queensway, Upper Dock Street and Market Square to the rear of the Provisions Market.

This facility is both dangerous and totaly inadequate. The paasngers are unhappy with it, the bus companies are unhappy with it and the police are unhappy with it.
Quite how anyone can design such a hoplessly dangerous and inadequate facility beggers believe. What kind of planners did they use. They are nowe on their forth attempt to even get it workable.
Why does Newport employ companies unable to peroperly plan things . This is just another in a very long line of failed schemes. I expect they will be happy when someone gets killed.
