There are walks around Newport but you need to be careful with regard to uneven paving slabs
Shopping in Newport is an exhausting rather than exhilarating experience
At least two more street lights are needed on the path that connects St Mary’s Churchyard with Purdy Road in Carisbrooke crossing the road is hazardous
Pedestrianised high street would be more relaxing for shoppers
The design of the town must have a hierarchy pedestrians first, etc
It must appear very confusing to visitors
Signs to help people know what is up each street should be a cycle hub (like at Riverside) at the bus station railings at High Street/St James’ Street junction cause pedestrian congestion and impede flow
Priority to pedestrians would make the town far more pleasant more seating and attractive routes signposting to public spaces or the start of walks, when the coaches drop the holiday makers (elderly) in town they mill around not knowing where to go
In general walking routes through town need to be made easier & continuous
Workers need places to sit at lunchtime and short walking routes to make them more active during the break people could explore the open spaces or have a walk along the river to Island Harbour if they knew where to aim for
Pedestrian access through the bus station could be improved – it is unsafe not enough seating, too much priority on transport
More and better use of lanes and alleys –Cockrams Yard
I work evenings and walking home in some places I've found not enough street lighting there needs to be more space for pushchairs
Some pavements are uneven making it hard with a pushchair or wheelchair / mobility scooters.
We need more footpaths and cycle routes with good signage and lighting
There aren't enough cycle storage / parking facilities
It’s dangerous to cross the road and not very welcoming
