Newport Bus Station Arrangements Back to Normal From Monday

Temporary bus stop arrangements in Newport town centre will revert back to how they were before the COVID pandemic, with the easing of restrictions next week.

Bus stops for routes 5, 7, 12 and 38, which were relocated last year to aid social distancing at Newport Bus Station, will move back into bus station from Monday (July 19).

This will allow the South Street taxi rank to be reinstated and the short-stay car park at Church Litten to reopen to help support the town's economy.

On Monday the government confirmed that from July 19 most legal restrictions relating to coronavirus would be lifted in England.

The Island's health leaders, however, are urging people to continue to proceed with caution and act responsibly to prevent further spread of the virus.
