Stow Hill fire - update
Posted on Friday 22nd June 2018
Stow Hill has reopened to traffic following emergency works. One lane is open with vehicles able to us it on a "give and take" basis.
Since a fire, which affected the former Zanzibar nightclub and Bethel Community Church, Newport City Council and specialist contractors have carried out work to make the buildings safe and remove debris from the area.
A small number of residents whose homes were affected have also been supported with emergency accommodation and have now been allowed back into their homes.
The affected buildings will remain cordoned off for safety, but vehicle and pedestrian restriction on the road will be lifted.
The future of the buildings will now be determined by their owners, but Newport City Council will continue to work with them and offer assistance where possible.
