WOW! There is some vitriol flying around between Cwmbran and Newport over parking charges at Friars Walk.
 I’m still smarting from a £12 charge incurred in Cardiff five years ago for four hours parking so I’m not overly challenged by £1.20 for two hours at this fantastic facility. 
For me the parking rate is a side issue.
Therefore, I prefer to urge NCC to concentrate their efforts to upgrade the areas of High Street and Commercial Street to complement what has already been achieved.
