THE building of new homes on the former site of the Centurion Inn in St Julians has been completed.
The pub in Heather Road has been closed for some time, and in April last year was seriously damaged in a fire.

Just a month earlier Newport City Homes was granted planning permission to build 10 new affordable homes on the site - and wok on these new homes has now been completed.
