Work on the regeneration of Newport city centre is due to start next month, with the realignment of the existing highway layout of the major thoroughfares of Kingsway and Queensway. .
In advance of this work, some shrubs and trees need to be removed by contractor Costain. But mature trees and shrubs will be placed on the envisaged new ‘green boulevard’. The city council said work on the development would proceed with minimal disruption to the public.
