PLANS have been submitted to set up a coffee cart on a Newport housing estate - prompting concerns about litter and "a million people descending" on the area.

The plans have been submitted to Newport City Council by developer St Modwen, which says that the coffee cart will "give the community the opportunity to purchase hot drinks and refreshments while spending time in the park".

The area around the coffee cart will, according to a letter sent to residents, continue to be managed by Glan Llyn Estate Management.

St Modwen said in the letter that its 2021 annual survey showed residents were "looking forward to the delivery of local facilities".

It said the coffee cart represents a "brand new opportunity, which will complement the planned amenities that will be delivered as part of our overall masterplan".

However, not all feedback has been positive.

Commenting on social media, Daniel Radcliffe worried that attracting more people to "a park they don't pay for" would lead to residents having to fund the clean-up.

"Where's the good news?" he asked.

Another commenter questioned what would happen should "a million people descend when word gets out".

"I live by the park and it will have a major impact on me," they said.

Scarlett Jackson said, simply: "That's awesome."
