00:00NHS services, I suppose, anything to bring people into town, isn't it, you know?
00:06Yeah, people still come out, I still walk the town like, you know, it's out in the fresh air and, you know, walk around the same shops.
00:13It's the same everywhere really, isn't it, closing down?
00:16I think within reason, yes it is, as long as it doesn't end up dominating the high street.
00:22I think they could do with a few more shops.
00:24I can remember back in the 60s, 70s and 80s, Newport's high street was certainly different to what it is today.
00:30Yeah, we need something but, you know, like they've only got to order something on their phone and it's there the next day, it's paid for and it'll be in the morning, you know?
00:39It's so, that's what it is, like, the poor shops are empty, I feel sorry for them, you know.
00:46Clean, good clean, a few more shops.
00:50Get a bit of the buzz back that was there at one time.
00:54It seems to lack a bit of buzz now, it just seems to have got very, sort of, samey.
