PLANS for an £87m retail and leisure scheme in Newport city centre met with a positive reception from residents.
The proposed hotel, office and apartment complex would dramatically change the city skyline with a 23-storey skyscraper as the centrepiece.
The new buildings would be called the City Spires, and would replace much of the Cambrian Retail Centre, which was bought by Manchester-based Modus for £10m earlier this year.
At a public consultation in the Indoor Market this afternoon, city residents seemed encouraged by the prospect of a major revamp near Newport's train station and gave it their backing.
