THUMBS DOWN FOR MEGABOWL RETAIL PLAN?

Newport City Council planners are recommending refusal for plans to redevelop the disused Megabowl site at Newport Retail Park. Johnsey Estates plan to change the use of the site increasing the retail offer with some mixed leisure facilities. It seems that the indoor ten pin bowling facility will be lost entirely. Locals will be surprised to hear that Johnsey claim there is no demand for such a facility. By contrast the Council states it has been approached by a business interested in occupying it within the last year and that the loss of the leisure service from the site cannot be justified.
