Work to begin on revamping ageing Newport nightclub
Newport's nightclub is set for a facelift after receiving council funding.
Work is set to begin on revamping the Main Street nightclub between Newport's High Street and St Mary's Street, almost two years after councillors supported plans to give the 1960s building a spruce-up.
In 2021, the club's new owners told Newport Town Council they were planning improvements to the building's dilapidated appearance.
Now, in a matter of days, work will begin on the building's exterior, with plans to improve the windows, painting and woodwork.
Borough councillor for Newport Peter Scott explained: "A couple of years back, the Pride in our High Street funding was divided between five Telford & Wrekin high streets.
"In consultation, generally people in Newport said the nightclub needed sorting out.
"There's a plan for all new windows all around, along with a complete overhaul of the outside painting and woodwork."
According to Councillor Scott, scaffolding will go up around June 18, with work aimed to be completed by October.
